The document discusses agility enablement and unlocking enterprise agility. It defines agility as an organization's capability to sense, adapt, and respond to a dynamic environment. The document presents four key aspects: (1) understanding the enterprise as a living organism, (2) understanding agility as a capability, (3) understanding agility enablement, and (4) how to be an agility enabler. It argues that agility is always present and the goal is to identify constraints and remove them to enhance the organization's agility capability. An agility enabler works to sustain boosters and minimize inhibitors that influence various enterprise elements like leadership, culture, systems and design.
