Enhancing Organizational Agility Through Socio-Economic Management Consulting: A Case Study
Résumé
The concept of agility has been developed by Chris Worley (2013) through noticing that many companies had hard times in implementing the strategy ( (Williams & Wheeler, 2009 ; Cummings & Worley, 2008...). Tom Williams and Steve Wheeler (2009) observe that large companies are efficient in the process of designing strategies, but have hard time in implementing strategies. Cummings & Worley (Center of Effective Organizations) have demonstrated that efficiency results form the ability to learn and change. Cummings, Worley, Lawler, Morhman, O'Toole, Crowther & al. have carried out a research scheme on agility which shows that the ability to change is difficult to learn, as evidenced by the high failure rate of organization change processes. This paper is aimed at showing the contribution of the Socio-Economic Approach to Management (SEAM) and to to management consulting focused on agility enhancement.
