AGILE: The Optimum Point Between Stability and Dynamism
Life in the 21st Century: from Traditional to Agile
The monolithic organization of the past has been destroyed by the rapid pace of change brought about by technology. This pace is not going to slow down. In fact, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, the Internet of Things, blockchain and NFT, DeFi, cloud, and new cybersecurity tools will certainly accelerate it.
The Pandemic Has Only Accelerated the Change
Fewer than 10% of the non-financial S&P 500 companies in 1983 remained in the S&P in 2013.
While stability is certainly an advantage in a slowly changing environment, it makes it difficult to react to a sudden change of, for example, having 100% of employees work remotely.
While dynamic businesses have an advantage of a quick reaction or repositioning and a moment-by-moment response to change, exposure to risks is high in areas of cybersecurity, where a comprehensive policy approach is required to prevent and mitigate threats.
AlphaMille’s approach is building hybrid, or agile technology & operations infrastructure that achieves the optimum balance of stability and dynamism, in the most cost-effective way.
A Stable Platform + Dynamic Capabilities
An agile company has a stable platform that is built using the COSO governance, NIST and other best practice frameworks. At the same time, dynamic capabilities can be added, deleted or replaced as needed.
Agile companies are fast learners. In terms of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), they operate at the highest maturity level (Level 5) - they have a mature infrastructure and processes, and they are constantly learning, experimenting and iterating.
