In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Marcus Dimbleby talks with Susan Abishara about enabling effective organizational agility and transformation.

 

They discuss how adopting agile practices without understanding the true problems the organization aims to solve often leads to failure. Susan explains how assessing organizational "fitness" and targeting specific areas for improvement, such as developing a clear vision or measuring the right outcomes, can help organizations apply agile tactics more successfully to achieve their goals. She emphasizes the importance of leadership clarity, focusing on empiricism, and sparking curiosity within the business.

 

In this episode:

  • Susan's experience moving between cultures
  • Why transformations often fail
  • The value of "fitness" assessments to identify weaknesses
  • Leadership, data, and curiosity as keys to agility
