Welcome to the Home of Academics in Business Agility Education and Research! This is my personal Blog, my name is Thomas Hormaza Dow. Although the name of this is the Home of Business Agility Education, I call this open literature review Blog “On the Shoulders of Giants and Giantesses” as that title came to me after reading the work of Robert K. Merton and, of course, the foreword by Umberto Eco. It serves as my reminder and duty to recognize “Everything of importance has been said before by somebody who did not discover it.” – Alfred North Whitehead.
IntrAgility, InterAgility and ExtrAgility is an Educational Self-Reflection for Business Agility Beyond T-Shapes Agile Skills
Small clarification between M-Skills and π-Shaped Skills
We chose to include M-Skills instead of π because isn’t t=2π anyway, right? Not to mention that π is not N nor M in Greek, π is a P! Think about it, P Skills does not have the same ring to it when you look at it that way, would you not agree? 😃
Business Agility Skills Development is a Continuum – Effectiveness depends on Context!
Personal Agility is an I-Shaped Skill, our Mindset, Emotional Intelligence, Interpersonal Skills, Introspection. Agility of this type is about our Way of Working, our Tasks, Tests and Learning.
Business IntrAgility
IntrAgility is a T-Shaped Skill, from inside out, effective in Departments (e.g., Agile Marketing, Agile HR, Agile Finance) but can be restrained if it is applied solely within one Sub-Function.
Business InterAgility
InterAgility is a M-Shaped Skill, visually describing a shape defined by General + Specialized Skills but extending into more than one Business Sub-Function.
Business ExtrAgility
ExtrAgility is a (phi) Φ-Shaped Skill, a holistic view and encompasses aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
