Agile

Companies need to adapt quickly to rapid changes in their market.

Whether it’s fluctuating customer demand, changes in the competitive landscape, or digital disruption, businesses must continuously monitor, adapt and evolve to gain a competitive advantage and keep up with their customers. Trends can change seemingly overnight, and a product or service that was cutting-edge in development can be outmoded by the time it comes to market. Minimizing these risks requires a high level of flexibility and adaptability.

Our experienced team of consultants and Agile experts help businesses to become more adaptable by adopting an Agile approach; one characterized by a people-centered culture and rapid learning and decision cycles, enabled by up-to-date and emerging technologies. Agile methodologies deliver both increased stability and adaptability by building a network of teams who are guided by a common purpose and focused on delivering value for all stakeholders in the value chain, at every level of your organization. 

Research by Scrum Alliance and Forbes Insights show that Lean/Agile organizations accelerated their time to market, boosted revenue, and increased their pace of innovation by introducing a mindset of end-to-end accountability. And across the board, companies with Lean/Agile structures report greatly improved employee morale and better success in attracting top talent.

However, transitioning into an Agile organization is challenging. It might mean changes in personnel, and it will certainly require new skillsets and training for your people. You need to be willing to reevaluate and modify everything from strategic planning to operating models to day-to-day processes, embedding the guiding principles of customer-centricity, accountability and cross-functional communication in every facet of the business. 

That’s why we’re here. We provide the insights and tools you need to create an Agile culture of innovation and flexibility, starting with leadership. We’ll develop a bespoke strategy to introduce Agile thinking into your business and overcome common barriers such as strict and static structures, hierarchical chains of command, and siloed areas of authority. There will be pain and discomfort along the way. But the FP approach, leveraging the key aspects of Lean and Agile combined with cutting-edge digital technologies, provides the guidance and tools you need to tackle this ambitious organizational change.

The ‘new truth’ in manufacturing and supply chain – how lean and agile methods can help you succeed

Right now, manufacturers barely have time to catch their breath, never mind consider how the future may look. Manufacturers face a unique set of constraints that make the pandemic crisis particularly challenging: Factories have high sunk costs, a need for skilled labor, and complex supply chains. Even if is still possible to operate in the crisis, operations can be easily interrupted by key skilled workers being absent or supply chains being interrupted. Simply put, with that level of sunk costs coupled with a dependency on commodity pricing, operational losses can mount quickly.
