There is a way to measure your company’s progress in transforming to company-wide agility!
Gain a holistic perspective of (your company’s) organizational agility by using a new assessment tool.
In companies, we define OKRs and KPIs for aligning and measuring our performance. However, not much has been done thus far to measure how we are progressing on our journey to company-wide agility. With the right data, that journey can go more rapidly!
In this presentation, we provide an overview of what metrics to use, based on many years of experience and groundbreaking scientific theory and articulated as “BOSSA nova” - a synthesis of Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agile.
Embracing a data-driven approach to company-wide agility doesn’t mean you’ll have all the answers - but you’ll be able to ask better questions.
A focus on data is especially important today when remote work settings create additional barriers to communication and understanding.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
● Learn about key indicators for measuring where your company is on its agile transformation journey
● Understand there are possibilities for measuring company-wide agility by examining transparency, continuous learning, constant customer focus, self-organization, and connected perspective
● Understand what can help you to have meaningful conversations, interviews, and objective baselines to make a compelling case for your next steps.

business partners.
■ The company demonstrates societal responsibility by respecting the people in its communities.
■ The company is protecting and improving the environment by embracing sustainable practices.
■ The company balances profits, vision, customer service, and adherence to regulations.
■ The company meets its corporate social responsibilities by participating in networks that aim to improve
the economic, ecological, and social aspects of society.
■ Through the fair compensation of employees; supporting individual growth; and fostering diversity,
inclusion, dignity and respect, the company demonstrates investments in its employees.
■ Teams think of themselves as a whole system that has a place and responsibility in societal systems.
