I first stumbled across Karim Harbott in a 2020 YouTube Video that he created called the The 6 Enablers of Business Agility. By itself the video wasn’t revolutionary but I did find the way Harbott organized the various aspects of business agility into the 6 enablers quite helpful. This post is focused on the book.

When people say they have a culture problem that’s preventing them from sustaining change in an Agile Transformation, what they’re really saying is that they have a cognitive dissonance problem.
