Agility

In GEN Casey's (Chief of Staff, U.S. Army) address to the 2008 LandWarNet conference he talked about agility of the Army as an enterprise. Two main points were brought out regarding the meaning of agility in an organization built from autonomous groups of people and heterogeneous information systems. Agility takes two forms, Intellectual and organizational. The contention is that the agility of an organization is built from the responsiveness of it's people.

"Intellectual agility is the ability to recognize opportunity and the courage to take it."
