Midlife is no newcomer on the scene, but it has experienced a remarkable resurgence of interest in the past two decades. The culprit behind this revival? None other than the ever-increasing negative messaging and fear-mongering that perpetuates a clicking clock on beauty and vitality.

"A timely book for a fast changing environment"
-E. LearnerThe Agility Advantage argues that modern business success requires continuous evolution rather than static strategy. Companies must develop three crucial components: market agility (gaining insights from demanding customers and outside industries), decision agility (anticipating changes and managing risks), and execution agility (building new capabilities while shedding obsolete ones).
As competitive windows narrow but opportunities expand, organizations need autonomously adapting teams united by compelling purpose to thrive in rapidly changing environments.

With case studies from leading companies and a four-color design that visualizes strategic concepts, this accessible guide helps leaders customize Agile approaches to their specific organizational needs.
