Summary Agile is the ability to quickly and naturally adapt to respond to changes.Most companies are inherently fragile and not agile - when they are hit by new developments, shifting consumer behavior or fast-moving competition, they struggle and even cease to exist! Inner Building Blocks is a novel about Neil Frost, a Director of Digital Transformation and Agile Centre of Excellence at Walkers Mart. The company is already grappling with a failing transformation and on the verge of bankruptcy when COVID-19 strikes! A compelling storytelling approach and provocative dialogues provide relatable context to adopt the concepts. The principles and techniques are delicately camouflaged within the underlying characters, their conversations and situations
