Agile Organizations, Not Just Teams
Amy discusses how teams don’t necessarily make for agile organisations. Amy argued in her session, teams alone are not sufficient to address the challenge of how to get diverse organisation components – each optimising their own business models, time horizons, technologies, and customer segments – to all fit together.

Amy Kates is an organisation designer and managing partner at Kates Kesler Organization Consulting, based in New York City. She advises business leaders around the world and teaches programmes at the Executive School of Business, Denmark and Cornell University Executive Education.
