Abstract

Organisations around the world are encountering a dynamic business environment that reduces predictability and certainty of business. However, most of them are not prepared to deal with the dynamic environment. This paper proposes a holistic framework that guides an organisation to leverage its managerial and leadership capabilities, combine them dynamically with resources and develop strategic agility to create a unique trajectory for organisation's business. We also discuss how the components of this framework relate to pertinent organisational practices to help adoption of the structure.
