Following the example of the “Manifesto for agile software development,” in 2020 a team of experienced consultants compiled their experiences in an “Agile business management manifesto,” comprising seven principles for agile business management:
View business as the system of people´s efforts to sustain the flow of matter, energy and information of a business.
Focus on one single prime measure of agility.
Focus on units, where the flow of money from customers becomes visible.
Allow only initiatives, which aim at resolving constraints to achieve the goal. Any initiative that does not resolve a constraint fails to contribute to agility and is a waste of time, energy and money.
Plan and execute short operational sprints to cope with our accelerating world.
Adjust operational plans to refocus on new obstacles resulting from accelerated change.
Determine and execute the initiatives to transform the business to agility
