In the McKinsey Podcast episode “The Journey to Agile: How Companies Can Become Faster, More Productive, and More Responsive,” senior partners Sherina Ebrahim and Shail Thaker discuss how organizations can implement agile practices to enhance adaptability and efficiency. They explain that while agile methodologies originated in software development, focusing on customer-centric and iterative processes, these principles are now being applied across entire organizations. Transitioning to an agile operating model involves forming cross-functional teams dedicated to specific missions, enabling rapid decision-making, and fostering a culture that embraces change. This shift requires not only structural adjustments but also a transformation in mindsets and behaviors to achieve increased speed, productivity, and responsiveness in dynamic market environments.
