Recensioner i media

'With Agility.X, this collection takes thinking on agility to the next level. Whereas in the past the focus was on making existing organizations more agile, Agility.X is about more fundamental change in organizational scope and competitive advantage. Illustrated with vivid examples from classical orchestral concerts for toddlers to NASA's Johnson Space Center, this collection is full of practical guidance on the implications of Agility X for leadership, strategy and organization design.' Richard Whittington, Saïd Business School and New College, University of Oxford
