Most business leaders are now comfortable with the concept of agile innovation teams. These are smaller units within a larger company working specifically on business innovations. Their approach is not remote or removed from the customer, but indeed post direct communication with the customer base so iterations may be made with breakneck speed. For a lot of digital natives such as Spotify or Netflix, the process comes naturally. For established older companies though, it is an effort as they had a very different set of established hierarchies in place. Some such as Amazon and USAA have transitioned successfully, while many have failed. Imitating startups’ agile methods do not always work, nor are they desirable in every situation. Merely launching multiple agile teams does not work either unless the existing bureaucracy is loosened to facilitate this system.
