September, 202119 CXO NSIGHTSSTRATEGIES TO IMPROVE BUSINESS AGILITY Kelly SmithIn the current business climate, it often feels as though every CIO is asking the same question: `Now that I have Agile Teams in my organization, when will I start reaping the benefits of Business Agility?'To a certain extent, such a query is understandable. We've been promised faster times to market but haven't all seen these yet. Told to measure `Business Value', but not how to define it. Primed to expect higher returns on investment, reductions in cost, competitive advantages, diminished risk, and increased levels of team happiness and staff retention ­ not all of which have materialized.
