Agile is not just for IT anymore!
“A healthy business is one in which people feel confident, where there are fewer political decisions and greater collaborative effort, where conflict is used as a tool for continuous improvement, and where individuals can find and use techniques to overcome human limitations when facing constant change.”
—Erich Buhler, Leading Exponential Change
