Driving agile transformation: the interplay of processes, knowledge and agile thinking
Résumé
Purpose Agile transformation has gained interest, but practical guidance remains limited. This paper examines the synergistic development of process orientation, knowledge management and agile thinking as foundational pillars of successful transformation. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review identifies enablers of agile transformation through the lenses of process, knowledge and agile thinking. Findings The paper integrates enablers across the three pillars and proposes a roadmap centred on knowledge-intensive dynamic processes. Research limitations/implications The paper fosters cross-disciplinary research by integrating process, knowledge and agile pillars. Future studies will explore enabler impact, links to resilience and the role of technology and culture in agile adoption. Practical implications The roadmap highlights key enablers, emphasizing change management as critical for agile transformation, with technology as a facilitating tool. Originality/value No prior research concurrently addresses process orientation, knowledge management and agile thinking in agile transformation.
