“Dr Edmondson’s sixth book is a thought-provoking journey through The Six Functions of the Agile Manager. Each function provides a roadmap for managers on how to navigate in today’s unpredictable and highly volatile environment.”–John Donnellan, New Jersey City University School of Business
“If you are ready to question ‘every aspect of the approach, methodology, biases, and deeply held assumptions’ that you have about how to be a successful leader in the volatile world that we find ourselves, then you’ll want to read Agility: Management Principles for a Volatile World.” –Jason D. Finley, Randolph Technical Career Center
“Edmondson’s work outlines the attributes that truly agile leaders should embody to bring about real and sustainable growth. He guides leaders to fully own their roles as curator, architect, conductor, humanist, advocate, and architect to create spaces that not only grow, but evolve as true learning organizations.”–Allison Rodman, Founder, The Learning Loop
Agility: Management Principles for a Volatile World is required reading for anyone managing individuals in small to medium-sized businesses, large corporations, non-profit organizations, and government offices.

To help the reader increase their self-awareness Agility provides a list of principles, questions, and exercises.
If stakeholders matter, then they must make a difierence in the way we plan, structure, and execute projects. Do they matter on your projects?
This book provides a stakeholder-centered analysis of projects and explains which identification, analysis, communication, and engagement models are relevant to difierent types of projects: from an office move to IT enterprise change to transformational business change and complex social change.
Using case studies from around the world, it illustrates what goes wrong when stakeholders are not engaged successfully and what lessons we can learn from these examples.
In this second edition, we also look at the impact of Agile practices on the stakeholder management process. What changes in approach can we anticipate, and what practices must continue regardless of the product development life cycle adopted?
Key models introduced include:
‧ Role-based and agenda-based stakeholders
‧ The stakeholder-neutral to stakeholder-led project continuum
‧ The extended stakeholder management process
‧ Purposeful communication—the six whys model for communication
‧ The principles of stakeholder engagement
‧ Stakeholder engagement in an agile world.
Compared to a few decades ago, companies today are faced with a much more challenging environment providing successful products and solutions for their customers. They are dealing with global competition, very rapid change in technologies, and tremendous volatility in economic conditions. As project managers, we are helping our companies survive in this difficult landscape. We are “agents of change” and “drivers of change.”
The most important project management methodology today that will help us deal with this change and this volatility is Agile. However, no one process or project management methodology fits all situations! Agile is not a panacea for all projects. Many times, our projects are large enough and complex enough that some parts of the project are best suited to using a predictive planning approach, and other parts are more suited to using Agile. Therefore, a hybrid approach that mixes the traditional, waterfall approach with Agile is really required in many situations today.
The agile community oftentimes has quite a negative view of hybrid approaches. Key writers on Agile often say that attempting to use hybrid will corrupt all attempts to use Agile, and will result in failure. In this book, the argument is made that integrating these methodologies can be done if approached the right way, and in fact, this is necessary today.
This book is for managers and would-be managers who need to upgrade their knowledge of digital marketing. Told from the perspective of marketing strategy, it puts digital marketing in the context of firm strategy selection. The first step in digital marketing is to understand your company and your brand. The next step is to put content and keywords on your web and mobile sites so that they can be found in search. Then use the delivery platforms of digital content, e-mail, social, and mobile, to deploy that content to the customer. The final topics in the book focus on the importance of data management and privacy as well as the emerging roles of analytics, artificial intelligence and marketing automation.
Without quality data, no digital marketing program can be successful. This data can then be used in data analytics applications for predictive modeling. After reading this book, the reader will have a good idea of where to start on the path to an integrated digital marketing management strategy. Each chapter concludes with a list of action steps or “what to do next” to get started on implementing a digital marketing strategy as well as review questions and key terminology.
