I thoroughly enjoyed Sunil’s book. It very much mimics the experience and reflects the findings and learnings that we are going through over last few years in my organization on the journey to agility.It is about the journey, not the transformation, as Sunil says, journey to resilience, adaptability, and creativity. The book gives you a direction and set of key principles for the continuous improvement and learning, easily adjusted and can be applied to a specific context. It will provide you with a set of guidelines to assist with creating a roadmap to agility, with the focus on ‘being’ agile and not just ‘doing’ agile.In the VUCA world, the world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, the Enterprise to be successful and relevant has to mature towards responsiveness and flexibility, be resilient, innovative and adaptive, and become learning organization. Sunil talks about Complex Adaptive System (CAS) as an agile living system that continuously evolves, adapts and is feedback driven, with the acknowledgement that ‘destruction is part of the evolution’, with built in ‘fail safe’ principles, and culture where people challenge anything that is not adding value, with the leadership that values diversity and inclusiveness, end empowers people. Through the understanding Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) and applying principled that CAS is driven by to the Enterprise you’ll start the journey to agility.As I was reading the book, every part, every chapter, every sentence was confirmation of the practical experience and deep learning and it provides great guideline for the new travelers.Great book! Highly recommend it!

Consigliato a chi cerca una strada per il cambiamento. A chi vuole influenzare la propria o altre organizzazioni ad intraprendere il viaggio per diventare e restare agili!

Amazing book and a must read for everyone. Although the book is written for CxO's; it has an excellent read for Middle management as they are the ones who actually bring in the Agility into any Organization. Sunil clearly describes the difference being doing and being Agile that is fundamental and connects well. Quite a few places everything becomes a tick in the box exercise and Sunil highlights the risks of doing that and how to truly embrace Agility. Although a bit long, the book is well paced and Sunil delves into the details of every aspect of Agility

This book is really amazing if you want your company to be Agile or your company wants to be Agile. It helps you evolve and have an agile mindset. I have read couple of chapters since I have purchased and I am glad it is in my collection of books. I have been working in agile environment for last 4-5 years but there is still so much to learn. This book is helping me mature and explore more things.
