Today's highly competitive and rapidly changing markets that see the rise and fall of the likes of Nokia and MySpace places business imperatives on companies. In particular, companies need to be innovative, introducing new products, updating others to react to changes in the market (or predicting or even creating these market changes).

Much has been written on innovation, from the incremental improvements of Toyota and others through the use of Lean methods, to the disruptive innovation exemplified by Steve Jobs and Apple. What is often neglected, however, is that to deliver innovation, it is essential to have an underlying capability of business agility.

In a series of posts, I'll look at what is needed for business agility:
