Episode #30 - Operational Enablers for Strategic Flexibility

Most leaders talk agility. But without flexible systems, you’re just spinning ideas on square wheels. In today’s episode of The EnterpriseJoy Podcast, Vishal dives into the operational backbone of strategic flexibility, covering IT responsiveness, supply chain resilience, and internal alignment. With insights from large-scale research across global firms and industries, this episode unpacks what truly enables adaptive leadership at scale and what slows it down. Expect stories, systems, and an action plan to tune your organisation for movement, not maintenance.References:1) Information technology competencies, organizational agility, and firm performance: https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/isre.2013.0500 2) The Role of Big Data Analytics Capabilities in Improving Strategic Agility: Evidence from Saudi SMEs: https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/2/8023) Viable supply chain model: integrating agility, resilience and sustainability perspectives—lessons from and thinking beyond the COVID-19 pandemic: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10479-020-03640-64) The study of supply chain management strategy and practices on supply chain performance: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sbspro.2012.03.1855) High-performance human resource practices, citizenship behavior, and organizational performance: A relational perspective: https://doi.org/10.5465/amj.2007.25525821Music Credit: Switch It Up, performed by Silent Partner, from the YouTube Studio Audio Library
