Agility & Culture Change

Uppwise Enables Business Agility Driving Digital Transformation

For most companies nowadays, business agility and digital transformation are at the center of debate. As a consequence, it has become essential for managers to identify and adopt new solutions that introduce cultures of change within decision-making processes.

In this article, we will highlight the key solutions Uppwise provides corresponding to new guidelines issued by Gartner in relation to Strategy & Portfolio Management (SPM) methodologies. Simultaneously, in this article we will work toward an understanding of how to implement an agile philosophy that makes business processes more effective and how you can use Uppwise to develop and facilitate these business processes.

The new guidelines suggested by Gartner are as follows:

• Align your key business objectives to the execution of your digital investments.
• Use strategic portfolio management methodologies to adopt strong decision-making processes aimed at creating value for end customers.
• Take advantage of the flexibility built into your strategic portfolios to adapt priorities based on your continously changing business needs and requirements.

The term “business agility” refers to a philosophy based on flexibility, speed, and delivery of value to the end customer. Speed of adaptation and flexibility of process management is essential in the promotion of change in corporate cultures, enabling new methodologies to be embraced while requiring tools that make business processes simplified and in step with the times. We can therefore define business agility as a philosophy that enables rapid achievement of effective response to customer needs combined with the continuous search for a competitive position within reference markets and the reduction in company costs, while maintaining a high level of product quality.
