It pays to be agile in business

Business agility is a term being used a lot right now as a way of responding to the current global economic challenges. The definition of business agility is the capability of a business to be adaptive, flexible and creative through a changing environment. Agile businesses respond quickly to opportunities or threats, whether internal (e.g. failing business operations) or external (e.g. shifts in trends or competitive markets). Given the current challenges in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, business agility has never been more needed by women entrepreneurs in Africa. To quote Bill Gates on the subject, he says: “Success today requires the agility and drive to constantly rethink, reinvigorate, react, and reinvent.” So, as our way of helping women entrepreneurs in the Lionesses of Africa community to get through this current crisis and beyond, we have just launched our Lioness Business Agility Webinar series,. We hosted the first of these events this month, with many more planned over the coming weeks. For those who can’t participate virtually, we will be sharing videos from the events with all the highlights on www.lionessesofafrica.com Let’s stay agile Lionesses!
