Operational agility is a company's ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances and efficiently respond to challenges. It matters because it enhances competitiveness by enabling quick adjustments to market demands, reducing risks, and improving CSAT.

It is a given fact that in business that most customers are willing to pay extra for great customer service. That just signifies the importance of this quality and skill. Now for operation agility is an evolution of customer service. Taking customer service up a few notches. As the economy seems to change at the drop of a dime it is even more important for businesses to be reflexive when responding to their customer demands.

I beg to differ, sometimes customers want great service but are unwilling to pay the extra. As they feel in order not to go to the competition you need to bend over backwards as customer is always king.

Once a decision is made, it's often difficult to overturn - even when significant losses are in the forecast. Customers needs change, decisions don't always have the expected result and can sometimes be detrimental to the organization. Just because the decision was made months - or even years- ago, doesn't mean it can't be changed. Customers needs change. The competitive landscape changes. And you should too. The agility is not only about change, but the ability to meet a customers need BEFORE your competitor does. That ability to change can create and strengthen a consumer relationship. In these day s of consumerism and the availability of competitive alternatives, he/she who hesitates is lost.

Applying operational agility in your daily operations requires an environment that nurtures quick decision-making, adaptation, and continual improvement. Encourage employees to take ownership of their roles, giving them the autonomy to make decisions and solve problems. This not only speeds up processes but also motivates your team, promoting job satisfaction and retention. Regularly engage in brief but frequent meetings to discuss progress, address problems, and pivot as necessary. Ultimately, this ensures all team members are aligned and informed.
