What’s it about? We are at the genesis of a new age — the age of Agile. It’s an exhilarating time, because unprecedented change can happen nearly overnight. Why? Because a truly “agile” organization connects everyone and everything . . . all
the time. It’s capable of delivering instant, intimate, frictionless value on a large scale.
What the experts are saying about The Age of Agile:
"Reporting from the front lines, Steve Denning takes you deep inside the management revolution that is being led by the apostles of Agile. In this insightful book, he unpacks the ground-breaking ideas and practices that are remaking the
foundations of human organization. The Age of Agile is an indispensable guide to building an organization that can thrive in a world of unrelenting change." - Gary Hamel, Professor, London Business School and Director, Management Lab
"The Age of Agile pulls off a rare feat. It demystifies a fuzzy topic, delivers a stinging critique of flawed management practices, provides practical advice, and is an enjoyable read. A great book." - Scott Anthony, Managing Partner of Innosight and lead author of Dual Transformation
"This eye-opening book challenges us to think, not just about which technologies will shape the future, but about which organizations will be able to handle-and develop-them. It describes the vanguard management paradigm for the 21st
Century and locates it in the changing context of the world economy." - Carlota Perez, Author of Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital:The Dynamics of Bubbles and Golden Ages
