Rundown of the Conclusion to the 2021 Dutch Election Cycle
by Luuk Kuiper

Collage by Camie Clarkson
— On 10 January 2022, almost ten months after the elections, a new Dutch government was sworn in by the king; Rutte IV. This article will go through the most important aspects of the conclusion to the historic 2021 election cycle.
For a refresher on the profiles of the mentioned parties, the layout of the Dutch government, or the drama that happened during the formation, check out The Herring's previous coverage of the 2021 election cycle.
A Historic Formation
The Netherlands is infamous for its drawn-out formations being on average the slowest country to form a government in the entirety of post-WW2 Europe, edging out number two Austria by quite a large margin. Coming in at 299 days, Rutte IV had the longest formation period in Dutch history. With Rutte III (2017) coming in second at 225 days, and Van Agt I (1977) third at 203 days.
The New Old Government
Despite the considerable length of the formation, the resulting cabinet is very familiar: VVD, D66, CDA, and CU, the same four parties that made up Rutte III, will continue their governance.
This came somewhat unexpectedly as after the 'Position Omtzigt, Function Elsewhere' debacle Gert-Jan Segers, party leader of the CU, stated that he would not work together with Rutte in a coalition. Later Segers walked back his statement stating that he was too harsh on Rutte and that he does not "want to be merciless to people", which in turn reopened the door for his party to join formation talks.
For D66 staying in what is essentially the Rutte III coalition was also not ideal. Especially since the party campaigned under the slogan "vote for new leadership", only to return to the same coalition that disbanded in 2021 due to the discriminatory 'allowance affair'. That is not to say D66 did not try to change the makeup of the coalition, they lobbied actively for working together with the progressive-left parties GL and PvdA. However, their efforts were ultimately shut down by the VDD and CDA only wanting to work with one of two leftist parties whilst GL and PvdA chose to stick together in the formation process resulting in a formation stalemate.
Although Rutte IV might contain the same parties as Rutte III there has been a slight power shift in light of D66's successful election. With D66 now being the clear second largest contributor to this coalition, they have gained significant influence in order to pursue their progressive centre-left agenda points.

Notable Policy
The entirety of the 47-page coalition agreement can be found online. Here we will only brush upon some of the plans we deemed noteworthy from each of the seven main topics outlined in the agreement. Note that these are preliminary plans and only time will tell whether they will actually end up being realised.
1. Democratic Rule of Law
In light of the scandal-induced political trust crisis, the agreement starts by outlining how the new government aims to regain public trust. Plans include a clearer divide between parliament and cabinet, increasing the information provision to the 'Tweede Kamer', and increased support of local citizens' initiatives.
2. Sustainable Country
Most notably to finance the Netherland's sustainability push the cabinet has opted for specialised funds, created by taking out one-time loans, over systematic investment in combating climate change. The energy transition over the next ten years is to be financed by a €35 billion fund, whilst the nitrogen crisis, agriculture reform, and restoration of nature will be funded by a €25 billion fund. To aid this process the cabinet has created a new ministerial position specifically dedicated to climate and energy.
The agreement also lays out the plan to yearly build 100,000 new homes in and around existing cities, of which two-thirds will have to be cheaper than €355,000. Further plans to combat the housing crisis consist of a piecewise cancellation of rental tax for housing cooperatives and the reintroduction of the ministerial position for public housing and spatial planning whose predecessor was disbanded by Rutte I in 2010.
3. Safety and Strong Society
In the coming four years there will be €10,7 billion more invested in defence which will eventually build up to an extra 3 billion yearly structural investment. The agreement also outlines a larger focus on fighting the rampant organised crime in the Netherlands, leaning on Italy's expertise in dealing with the mafia.
4. Social Security and Equality of Opportunity
To start in the school year 2023/2024 the student loan system will be disbanded and replaced by the restarting of basic grants with an income-related supplementary grant. For students who did not have the chance to make use of the basic grant system there will be 1 billion for student debt relief, coming in at about €1,000 per student.
Other notable plans include a 7.5% increase of the minimum wage over the next four years which will be mirrored by an equal increase to social benefits. A stepwise increase of childcare compensation up to 95% over an undisclosed period of time is also in the works.
5. Prosperous Country
Rutte IV will continue the efforts of previous VVD-led governments to stimulate the economy through investments in the start-up climate, public-private cooperation, and research and development centred companies. There will also be a structural investment of €170 million in the culture sector as well as the creation of a recovery plan in light of COVID-19's impact on the sector. Lastly, the agreement outlines a commitment to digitalization and cybersecurity. Whilst also mentioning a dedication to online civil rights which includes a commitment to not using facial recognition without proper legal basis and controls.
In light of the COVID-19 crisis, the agreement outlines a commitment to strengthening pandemic preparedness; which includes planning an easily upscalable ICU capacity, the implementation of a health care reserve, and the possible appointment of a Chief Medical Officer to inform the cabinet.
Furthermore, Rutte IV aims to make working in health care more appealing. Although how this will be done is largely put in the hands of employers and there is no mention of an additional increase in health care workers wages.
7. International
In terms of international policy, it is most notable that Rutte IV takes a more pro-EU cooperation stance than previous cabinets. The agreement shows dedication to strengthening EU macro-economic policy, rule of law, and transparency of decisions.
The Netherlands will also increase the number of vulnerable refugees it takes in from the UN from 400 to 900 a year.

How the iPad is changing the face of music
Music, Technology
Apple, GarageBand, Gorillaz, iPad, Music, Pocket-lint.com, Reactable, Technology, Tenori-on
Android may be catching up fast, but it was the iPad that made the tablet a must-have piece of kit for any self-respecting gadget aficionado. For the while, at least, the iPad continues to lead the charge and, though its games, web browsing and playing about on Facebook and Twitter are as popular as ever; it's also managed to infiltrate the music industry. We're not just talking about the fact that the tablet can house your entire iTunes music library. It's also fast becoming a useful tool for musical types, both professional and amateur.
The most high-profile use of Apple's tablet by a pro musician so far involves the latest album from ex-Blur frontman Damon Albarn's hip-hop project Gorillaz, which was created largely on his iPad during a 32-day tour of North America. The album uses real instruments and vocals combined with a good helping of synthesizers with Albarn making use of around 20 apps including Korg iELECTRIBE, Moog Filatron and FunkBox Drum Machine. It perfectly illustrates the convenience of being able to lay down tracks on a device, while on the move, with no access to a desktop computer or studio.
Convenience and portability are obviously two great benefits, especially, as with Albarn, plenty of musicians spend a great deal of time on the road; however the bonus of using a tablet goes further than that, as accessory brand Griffin's PR director, Jackie Ballinger, told us.
"Technology, like the iPad enables musicians to become mobile without losing quality, now people are able to make music anywhere without limitations and without substantial costs.
"With the iPad and relevant apps a less costly alternative to recording studios and instruments, aspiring musicians have the opportunity to produce professional recording using solely these means."
Money appears to be one of the most important factors – not exactly shocking when you consider the huge cost involved in putting an album together. If an artist can record an album for less, then why not?
The cost of producing a chart album is estimated to be a whopping £250,000, so it's hardly surprising that musicians are opting for a more affordable route, especially those who don't have a record deal and are producing the work themselves. Two-piece US indie band The Ultramods managed to produce an entire album (entitled Underwear Party) in just 2 weeks, only using GarageBand for iPad.

The increased noise pertaining to Apple's plans to transition their traditional compute offerings to ARM-derived solutions continues to gain steam. These rumors are normally followed by insistence that people will abandon their Apple product of choice (MacBooks, iMacs, Mac minis). The general public is very skeptical of the success of such a change. Linus Torvalds has even chimed in on why ARM-based solutions won't succeed in the datacenter.
The prior anemic performance of Intel's integrated graphics solution and lack of true innovation due to subtle tweaks to clock speed or minor adjustments on an extremely mature 14nm (insert the total number of +'s of your choice after said measurement) manufacturing process certainly resulted in a product that fell behind Apple's needs. With the departure of Brian Krzanich, the acquisition of external talent including Jim Keller and Raja Koduri, and proposed changes to how Intel will implement next-generation technologies, Apple's move to the internally developed A-series SoC's may be a solution to a problem which won't exist for much longer.
The current state of the next-generation of Intel graphics looks to be shaping up to provide serious competition to incumbent vendors. The leaked benchmarks for the Intel Iris Plus 940 iGPU solution show the appropriate focus finally exists for the graphics pipeline. If the stand-alone Intel GPU offerings scale this level of performance up to something that comes within a stone's throw of what AMD and Nvidia are offering in a given price range, both the PC and Mac platforms would offer the kind of generational performance increases that haven't been present for close to a decade.
Apple introduced the A7 chip as a "desktop class architecture" and has claimed that the current generation A12X chip in the current-generation iPad Pro to provide "console quality" graphics. A desktop variant of the A13 and beyond may indeed be competitive with what Intel offers in 2019, but the investments and strategic roadmap which Intel is executing upon may make this ARM transition an exercise in futility. Customers that have remained with the Apple ecosystem for traditional computer platforms have experienced architectural shifts before for the sake of performance. What we're likely to see over the next 18-24 months may bring into question Apple's architectural shift and long-term plans in this space.

Q: Python: invalid syntax for a while loop I am a beginner python user working on python 2.5.4 on a mac.
I have been trying to create the game stock ticker (text only) in python for the last few days and I am almost finished, but I am getting "Syntax error: invalid syntax" on a while loop. Here is   the part of the code thats giving me problems the error occurs at line 5 and I get a ^ pointed at the e of while.  (I would post the whole thing but its over 300 lines)
while (keep_going ==0):
            sell_var = int(raw_input('Please choose what you would like to sell, for grain enter 1, for technology enter 2, for ore enter 3, for construction enter 4, for bonds enter 5, and for trade enter 6, to skip enter any other key'))
            if sell_var == 1:
                temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many grain stock would you like to sell?')
                while (temp_sell > playgrain[x]):
                    temp_sell = int(raw_input('Please choose a different amount to sell, you do not have that many stock')
                playgrain[x] = playgrain[x]-temp_sell
                playmoney[x] = playmoney[x] + stock[1] * temp_sell
            if sell_var == 1:
                temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many technology stock would you like to sell?')
                while (temp_sell > playertech[x]):
                    temp_sell = int(raw_input('Please choose a different amount to sell, you do not have that many stock')
                playtech[x] = playtech[x]-temp_sell
                playmoney[x] = playmoney[x] + stock[2] * temp_sell
            if sell_var == 1:
                temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many ore stock would you like to sell?)
                while (temp_sell > playore[x]):
                    temp_sell = int(raw_input('Please choose a different amount to sell, you do not have that many stock')
                playore[x] = playore[x]-temp_sell
                playmoney[x] = playmoney[x] + stock[3] * temp_sell
            if sell_var == 1:
                temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many construction would you like to sell?)
                while (temp_sell > playconst[x]):
                    temp_sell = int(raw_input('Please choose a different amount to sell, you do not have that many stock')
                playconst[x] = playconst[x]-temp_sell
                playmoney[x] = playmoney[x] + stock[4] * temp_sell
            if sell_var == 1:
                temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many bonds stocks would you like to sell?)
                while (temp_sell > playbonds[x]):
                    temp_sell = int(raw_input('Please choose a different amount to sell, you do not have that many stock')
                playbonds[x] = playbonds[x]-temp_sell
                playmoney[x] = playmoney[x] + stock[5] * temp_sell
            if sell_var == 1:
                temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many trade stock would you like to sell?)
                while (temp_sell > playtrade[x]):
                    temp_sell = int(raw_input('Please choose a different amount to sell, you do not have that many stock')
                playtrade[x] = playtrade[x]-temp_sell
                playmoney[x] = playmoney[x] + stock[6] * temp_sell

A: You are missing the closing ")"
int(raw_input('How many grain stock would you like to sell?')
                                                             ^

in a number of places, you may want to go back and look over your code.
This should be:
int(raw_input('How many grain stock would you like to sell?'))
                                                             ^

and as you can see from the code coloring, some of your strings don't terminate. E.g.,
temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many ore stock would you like to sell?)
                                                                     ^^

needs a terminating single quote, and closing ")":
temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many ore stock would you like to sell?'))
                                                                     ^^

One way to minimize/avoid these sort of problems is to use an editor that does matching for you, ie it will match parens and sometimes quotes. And clearly syntax highlighting/coloring is a very useful tool as it shows when quotes aren't closed (and in some language multi-line comments aren't terminated). It would be worth examining the code in those areas too.
As an aside, there are a lot of if sell_var == 1: one after the other .. is that intentional? In which case it seems one of them should suffice.
Finally, you may want to take   a look at PEP8 - The Style Guide for Python, it'll give suggestions on formatting, naming conventions etc when writing Python code. For instance the body of your loop is indented too much (though that may just be an artifact of pasting your code here). E.g., PEP8 recommends 4 spaces for indentation.

A:         if sell_var == 1:
            temp_sell = int(raw_input('How many ore stock would you like to sell?)

Your forgot a ' and a ) there.

Star Wars Battlefront PC Pre-Order Bags a 25% Discount
By Editorial Team Aug 22, 2015 Oct 26, 2020 Share
Since April EA's been selling preorders of Star Wars: Battlefront for the standard $59.99, but this week it received its first major discount to only $45 for the digital PC edition (basically the Origin key).
In fact, a whole slew of PC gaming pre-order titles are on sale after a new 25% off coupon code appeared at GMG earlier today.
The November 17 releasing Star Wars: Battlefront is just one of a few games dropping a healthy percentage this weekend with other notable titles including Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Fallout 4, and Civilization: Beyond Earth – Rising Tide.
While PC digital games with pre-order discounts does happen occasionally – high-end AAA titles from EA rarely ever get this kind of treatment.
We wouldn't be surprised if EA put the kibosh on a discount like this to keep the $59.99 list price steady across the board – so if by the time you're reading this the coupon no longer works – you'll know why.
Barring aforementioned early expiration, the set expired date for the coupon is on August 28th at 8 AM Pacific and hopefully will last its entire length on these titles.
25% Off Code: DEALZO-N25OFF-STAGMG
Star Wars: Battlefront (Origin) — $45 (list $60)
NBA 2K16 (Steam) — $45 (list $60)
FIFA 16 (Origin) — $45 (list $60)
Fallout 4 (Steam) — $45 (list $60)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Steam) — $45 (list $60)
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth – Rising Tide (Steam) — $20.25 (list $30)
For those not swayed by the discounts alone to preorder any of these AAA titles? Select titles of course comes with the all too familiar pre-order bonuses, some of which are coming to fruition soon.
Star Wars Battlefront comes with the "Battle of Jackku" DLC pack… Which actually will be made available to all Star Wars Battlefront players on December 8, but if you pre-order you'll get access to the battle of Jackku on December 1 (a 7 day headstart).
Pre-ordering a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops III will get you access to the multiplayer beta which begins next week on August 26th for Xbox One & PC.
Looking at the calendar, that's less than five days away and makes this weekends discount even more enticing.


The Journal of the American Medical Association reported on a CDC report that showed of the seven essential steps to heart health only 1.2% of American adults adhere to all.
5 of the 7 metrics listed in this report are directly related to levels of physical activity and can be improved with the TrekDesk.
A recent study from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported in this month's Journal of the American Medical Association found that of the seven essential metrics connected to cardiovascular health only 1.2% of American adults met established guidelines. This figure was down from 2% previously established in 1994. TrekDesk Treadmill Desks offer a unique solution to meet a majority of these heart healthy guidelines.
The CDC report stated that cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in the U.S accounting for approximately one third of annual mortalities with an estimated overall cost of $444 billion.

What people are saying about La Ciotat
Our guide, Raphaela, was excellent! Very warm, great sense of humor, and knowledgeable about the Calanques. Safety oriented and made sure everyone had a great time! Three hours was tiring for the kids, but it went by too fast for the adults. Gear was in good condition, and we were rewarded at the end with refreshing lemonade.

Q: browser back button and get the url of the page on which back button is pressed I want to get url of previous page when some user has clicked browser back button and is redirected to previous page. jquery or rails

A: Have a look to this StackOverflow answer.
I think you just have to use this jQuery code :
$("#backLink").click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    history.back(1);
});

where #backlink is the selector of your button.

"Looking to the future, we anticipate a deepening and maturing of internationalization at Appalachian. The curriculum will be more internationalized and students will be participating in more global learning opportunities both on campus and abroad.
To these ends, Appalachian provides training opportunities for faculty members on how to infuse global issues into their courses as well as how to use technology to connect their classes with similar classes at partner institutions abroad. At the same time, the University is increasing the number of visiting exchange faculty members from our partner institutions coming to teaching at Appalachian for short time periods or a semester."
"We also have learned how to help our international students make the transition more effectively as they come to study at ASU. As a result, they are achieving higher levels of academic success and having more meaningful cross cultural experiences in the US. This effort has involved considerable effort from many campus constituencies and has resulted in much higher retention rates for our students attending from around the world."
"This commitment to global engagement is multi-dimensional. We seek this role to ensure our students have opportunities to develop an understanding of the larger world in which they live and work and how they may contribute to influencing its overall development. We seek to have students from other countries to expose our domestic students to different cultures and experiences that can be shared in curricular and extra-curricular contexts."
"Barnard College aims to provide its students with both an understanding of our local, diverse community, as well as the tools to become active leaders and responsible members of the increasingly interconnected, global society they will soon enter. The College also seeks to develop faculty expertise supporting its various internationalization efforts on and off campus. These aims are realized through curricular and co-curricular offerings; interaction with students and faculty from a broad range of cultures; and opportunities to travel, study and perform research abroad."
"Our emphasis on international and interdisciplinary perspectives, the integration of knowledge with experience, and close collaboration among peers, professors, and staff equips our students to approach the complex problems of the world ethically and thoughtfully."
"Our vision is to design a distinctly "global" educational experience and foster an inclusive campus community that infuses all aspects of college life with an international perspective."
"We want to be able to see beyond our own borders, where understanding the hopes, dreams, cultures and concerns of other people is the norm; where global awareness, respect and competence allows people of all backgrounds to work together effectively; where the richness of our diversity is embraced; and where knowledge grows through global interactions."
"Boston University is an international, comprehensive, private research university, committed to educating students to be reflective, resourceful individuals ready to live, adapt, and lead in an interconnected world. Boston University is committed to generating new knowledge to benefit society."
"Empower students to reach their full educational and professional potential through participation in international and intercultural experiences."
"...promotes and supports efforts to internationalize the curriculum, affords students the opportunity to study abroad, increases the number and diversity of international students on campus, supports international faculty collaboration, and fosters links with higher education institutions around the world."
"It seeks to attract a diverse and international faculty and student body, to support research and teaching on global issues, and to create academic relationships with many countries and regions. "
"The rapid increase in the global mobility of students, services, and trade necessitates a continued focus on international education and study abroad programs. Students should be involved and engaged not only with the local campus community, but also with our international community. "
"Creating an atmosphere in which students can cultivate intercultural skills of all kinds, from the local to the global, is a noble goal, but it can be difficult to achieve in practice. Too often units on campus perceive themselves as competing for resources or attention, and lose sight of the larger mission to educate students for the twenty-first century. It takes leadership from the highest level to thwart territorialism and inspire a college community to share a common vision, to work together towards meaningful goals."
"For students with limited travel experience, working with the international peers on common problems can reveal both startling differences in culture and communication and startling similarities...They learn that two people can look at the same set of facts or historical events and draw very different conclusions about what happened and why, and who was right and who was wrong. They also come face to face with the limits of their own understanding. These are challenging experiences, but ones from which students emerge with new skills, new ways of thinking, and a new confidence that they can succeed in any environment."
"Create a faculty that provides international perspectives. In our increasingly global society, we shall recruit faculty who can bring international perspectives to their work, who are committed to internationalization in their teaching and scholarship and in advising students, and some of whom are bilingual or multicultural."
"A global education begins on our own campuses. Our colleges and universities must become both of and for the world, manifesting explicit commitments to internationalism in our student bodies, curricula, and ethos. International and intercultural studies must become a compelling intellectual focal point for students and faculty across the disciplines and across the curriculum. "
"To foster internationalization we invested in a special fund to encourage faculty to study, work and travel abroad. How can we expect faculty to embrace internationalization if they have never traveled abroad themselves? Until the faculty commits to the concept of university globalization it will not occur. The commitment cannot be limited to the office of the president or chancellor. The CEO must be a strong advocate, but he or she cannot be the sole champion."
"The international students enrolled in our graduate and undergraduate programs, and the international scholars who study and teach with us for one or two years, boost the cultural literacy of our students from California and other regions of the country. They also enrich the intellectual and cultural environment for all members of our community—besides planting the seeds for stronger international partnerships and collaborations in the future. "
"...support and promote the success, wellness, and personal growth of international students through expert advising, intercultural programming, and advocacy."
"...inspire an appreciation of differences among cultures by providing opportunities for all segments of the campus community to participate in international education and intercultural exchange."
"The university is dedicated to preparing its students for lives of learning and for the challenges educated citizens will encounter in an increasingly complex and diverse global community. More than 100 programs of international study and cooperative research are available for students and faculty at sites throughout the world. KU teaching and research draw upon and contribute to the most advanced developments throughout the United States and the world. At the same time, KU's extensive international ties support economic development in Kansas."
"The great challenge for higher education today is how to develop leaders for an increasingly interconnected world. For me, internationalization and global learning communities are an essential strategy for educating those future leaders. We can do that through student mobility, and are working very hard on strategies to increase that mobility. However, we also have to think about how to create global learning communities here on our own campus, through the use of technology and through pedagogical innovation. For that to work, our faculty have to have global connections as well"
Enhance opportunities for global engagement by increasing the enrollment of international undergraduate students, and increasing opportunities for students to participate in outstanding and enriching international programs.
" We are committed to providing for our students and faculty international learning, teaching, and research experiences that will prepare them for a rapidly changing global community. The University encourages intellectual and cultural exchange in other countries, and programs that deeply engage scholars from disparate areas of the globe. We support and promote student, faculty, and staff immersion in local and national communities via service, learning, and leadership endeavors. We nurture lifelong relationships with alumni who span the globe."
Encourage "Internationalization at Home" through the design and delivery of programs and trainings which build global competence.
This all begins with our service to students: we want more of them to experience the transformative benefits of global education and international work. Every UO student, regardless of means, background, major or career goals, deserves the opportunity to step out of the familiar, into the challenge of a new language, new culture, new food, new environment, new religion, new ways of viewing the whole world. This builds confidence, fosters global citizens, and makes our students more employable.
"It's essential to integrate globalization initiatives at every level of the university community. For example, avoid housing all international students in one corner of campus or delivering separate class sections for international students. Do not fall prey to the seduction of new revenues as the primary motivator for globalization. "


Many enterprises that began the transition to Agile five to ten years ago have largely solved their technology delivery problems and are recognizing huge opportunities for further improvement. Now they must learn to adapt their organizational structures and processes and align to the voice of customers and users. This is precisely what Business Agility enables the Agile enterprise to do. In this white paper, we define what Business Agility means in different contexts and how to achieve it by mastering each level of the Hierarchy of Organizational Capabilities.
Business Agility is a hot topic today, in part, because the adoption of Agile in IT, along with the increasing prevalence of Agile thinking and value stream alignment, has made significant progress over the last half-decade. Many enterprises that began the transition to Agile five to ten years ago have largely solved their delivery problems (the HOW) and are recognizing huge opportunities for further improvement by applying Agile and Lean to line-ofbusiness, support, governance and funding functions. Companies undertaking "Digital Transformation" (another buzzword that's hard to pin down) must develop Business Agility competencies to realize significant benefits. After solving the HOW of delivering technology well, organizations must learn to align to the voice of customers and users, becoming more adaptive and granular in selecting WHAT to deliver. In other words, the problem domain has moved up from "We can't ship quality/fast/responsively" to "The stuff we ship doesn't thrill users or doesn't drive competitiveness".
Sense and respond to customer and market needs with disruptive products and services in an immediate frictionless manner.
The need for Business Agility is evidenced by the fact that business and technology leaders face ever increasing competitive and market pressures. More than ever, organizations must rapidly innovate and deliver, or succumb to nimbler competitors. Rates of business startup creation, disruption, and disintermediation are increasing exponentially. Bureaucratic firms unable to integrate rapid learning with speed to market will succumb to increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). Business Agility is the key to restoring control to enterprises confronting the velocity and unpredictability of modern markets.
Business Agility enables enterprises to optimize policies, process and structures for responsiveness and short cycle times, and to sense and respond to customer and market needs with disruptive products and services in an immediate frictionless manner.
Our approach to implementing Agility transforms organizational effectiveness by ensuring the enterprise first builds the capability to responsively deliver high-quality products rapidly and frequently before attempting to develop the higher-order business capabilities necessary to impact markets. We can think of these capabilities as forming a hierarchy (cf. Maslow's), insofar as the ability to systematically and deliberately accomplish any higher-level capability depends on the organization mastering of every underlying capability.
In enterprise Agile transformations, Business Agility refers to the non-IT processes and functions in the value stream that must support responsiveness and short cycle times. Examples may include governance, portfolio management, budgeting, role accountability and incentives, leadership skills/styles, and even corporate culture. The enabling capabilities supporting this include embracing organizational learning, empowering highly engaged employees, and leveraging continuous improvement to sense organizational limitations and adapt the enterprise continuously.
Within the realm of innovation and Lean Startup, Business Agility means sensing and responding to customer and market needs with disruptive products and services in an immediate frictionless manner.
Organizations that pursue Business Agility capabilities embark on a complex but rewarding journey toward transformation of their competitiveness and market power. Implementation of cross-cutting organizational change poses significant challenges for leaders, but becoming an Agile business promises powerful new capabilities to address the challenges of the VUCA era.
SolutionsIQ has integrated a holistic change management framework around our Business Agility services to ensure enterprises achieve their strategic business objectives at every level of competency. We tailor the transformation journey to each client's unique current-state, goals, and strategy, leveraging the solutions that will have the greatest impact in the shortest time. Finally, our Hierarchy of Organizational Capabilities may function as a simplified roadmap for organizations to continue their journey toward transforming themselves and transforming their markets.
