In this article, we first discuss the concept of agility – the ability to adapt and respond quickly and flexibly to change. In order to illustrate organizational agility, we expand on agile methodologies, which are attracting growing interest in the business world, particularly in research and development (R&D) organizations. Next, we focus on ways whereby managers can increase the level of agility in their organizations. We suggest that managers can help in designing and building an agile organizational system by cultivating three key elements: functional diversity,psychological safety, and empowerment. Finally, we specify managerial practices conducive to promoting such an agile organizational system.
