The Nimble C-Suite emphasizes the importance of being nimble in order to succeed in the future. It argues that traditional corporate structures and leadership strategies are insufficient in meeting the demands of an ever-changing business environment. The book offers solutions to overcome these limitations and thrive in a Transformational Economy, focusing on bringing “Nimbility” to organizations.

“Nimbility” is defined as the combination of resilience and innovation, which are crucial attributes for navigating through disruptions. Innovation refers to the ability to enhance the desirability, utility, and value of products or services, while resilience pertains to the capacity to recover from stress and unforeseen challenges.

The book highlights the benefits of innovation, such as improved competitive performance, increased profit margins, and corporate sustainability. It also emphasizes the value of resilience in reducing risks and enabling rapid recovery from undesired situations. Nimbility is presented as a lower-risk approach, making it a safer choice for both careers and corporations.

The Nimbility Matrix is introduced as a tool for assessing both organizations and individuals. It examines the cultural, procedural, and policy aspects of an organization to identify how they hinder or facilitate resilience and innovation. Similarly, individual behaviors, attitudes, and temperaments are evaluated to understand their level of “Nimbility.”
