Overwhelming majority of surveyed organizations
believe agility allows them to respond more quickly for a distinct
market advantage
Results from a first-of-its-kind CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA)
sponsored study reveal that only 12 percent of organizations can
claim that their whole organization is on the path to business
agility even though more than two thirds of survey participants
agreed that agile organizations are better able to quickly respond
to dynamic business conditions.
The survey, “Business Agility throughout the Enterprise,” finds
improved Business Agility is expected to deliver:
- Better competitive advantage (54
percent of respondents)
- Higher customer satisfaction and
retention (65 percent of respondents)
- Increased employee productivity and
retention (58 percent of respondents)
- Reduced costs (57 percent of
respondents)
- Faster time to act on new opportunities
(84 percent of respondents)
Eighty-four percent of survey participants believe that the
capability to respond more quickly to new opportunities will give
them a distinct advantage but only 1 in 10 executives said they are
leveraging the benefits of agile across their whole organization to
achieve speed and responsiveness. The majority of respondents
attributed the challenges of agile methodology adoption throughout
the organization to complex environments (64%), cultural or
political barriers (58%), a lack of financial commitment to change
(25%), and outdated apps and tools (25%). Lack of skills or faith
in the process are dismissed as relatively inconsequential
problems.
Increased Agility Drives Better Results Across the
Company
Business agility is recognized and appreciated for the benefits
it can deliver in aligned organizations. Even with increased
adoption, there is still a lot of opportunity to be gained. As
organizations continue to incorporate agile methodologies and
practices across the enterprise, they will see some marked
improvements in their business. Improved business agility was cited
by respondents as key to reducing fire-drills (51%), improving
process efficiency (47%) and increasing cross-functional visibility
(47%). Additional benefits in collaboration, customer impact and
experience, and alignment across planning and investment were also
identified in the survey.
“Success today requires that companies quickly sense and adapt
to changes, pivot to address market changes and customer needs, and
do so at scale,” said Surya Panditi, general manager, Agile
Management, CA Technologies. “As organizations become modern
software factories, adopting an agile mindset and implementing
principles across every department – from manufacturing to
marketing to finance – ensures that organizations can speed up
performance to remain competitive.”
