About The Agile World

We are living in an agile world. What started with technologists and marketers who were early adopters of the agile methodology and way of thinking has spread across entire organizations, and didn’t stop there. Consumers are thinking more agile as well. They are more willing to be part of product development and the process of building brands than ever before, due to a number of social, technological, and economic factors. Also, as employees, these consumers are also more interested in sharing values with the companies they work for, and are looking for new types of management and work environments that embrace their individuality and desire to contribute more quickly in tangible ways. All of this adds up to the makings of an Agile World led by newly-empowered consumers in an evolving economy.
