Sopravvivere, svilupparsi e competere nell\u2019era digitale courtesy of Marco Calzolari.<\/p>\n<p>It is precisely the \u201cdigital age\u201d that represents the driver for change, according to the author who conceived the \u2018agile\u2019 working method as a response to the stall encountered by many businesses faced with the digitalisation of processes and production methods. According to Perkin, many companies are in this condition because they are obstructed by outdated working methods, decision-making processes that aren\u2019t sufficiently horizontal and inhibit innovation: a company culture, in other words, that rewards conformity and instantaneous efficiency rather than entrepreneurship and the desire to learn.<\/p>\n<p>All this underpins the proposal of \u201cAgile Transformation\u201d, indicated as a pathway for creating businesses able to reshape themselves continuously according to the needs of clients and their responses, who work in \u201chorizontal and flexible\u201d groups, supported by technology and who know how to use their resources in a way that can continuously be adapted to the future.<\/p>\n<p>After an extended introduction by Calzolari, the book guides readers starting from the need for a new business \u201coperating system\u201d, through a definition and in-depth look at the characteristics of the \u201cagile business\u201d, to a series of crucial points: the right innovation, the need to change change management, a new approach to businesses targets and management.<\/p>\n<p>Perkin\u2019s book should be read attentively, and the implementation of its indications certainly at least attempted. In his introduction, Calzolari writes: \u201cThe true potential of the \u2018agile movement\u2019 lies in sharing the authentic experiences of people with similar needs and applying a manifest \u2018practical wisdom\u2019 based on methods that bring out the quality of every professional\u201d.<\/p><p><strong>Agile transformation.
