• Some key aspects of agile organizations which
  Michael Dettmers introduces to his clients are
• Agile Organizations favor teamwork over
  individuality.
• Agile Organizations promote creativity,
  flexibility, and teaching.
• Agile organizations focus on active learning
  where a significant amount of time and effort is
  devoted to developing skill.

• In Agile Organizations, information and knowledge
  of the resource are just as important as the
  resource itself.
• Non-Agile organizations are characterized by a
  centralized, top down management style, whereas
  agile organizations allow for the free flow of
  information from m top to bottom and vice versa.
