Summary

Business agility has a greater advantage on companies. Companies that are advanced in their adoption of business agility report 60% higher revenue than the rest of the organizations surveyed. There are four elements of value purpose that benefit organizations they include, better, value, safer, and happier (BVSSH).

The meta-framework of BVSSH is seen in the subtitle of the book, Antipatterns, and patterns of business agility. The Washu students found this approach compelling as they were able to quickly identify patterns and antipatterns in their own organizations.

Thus, in order to identify and apply the BVSSH technique students need to interact with business agility in the wild. The author states that the meta-framework business agility theory as applied at Washu could serve as a course to develop business agility leaders.
