Those environmental and personal factors can inhibit the ability to develop and use agility:
- Restrictions on access to information
- Confidence that the best approach in already known and always knowable
- Intolerance to risks and uncertainties
- Lack of diversity
- Resistance to change
- Passive reliance on approved planning, models, methods
- Optimized process and investment with lack of basic research and experimentation and exploration
And also:
