Abstract: There are few frameworks for assessing Organisational Agility, and all have a few reported limitations: either lack of definition around the topic, leaning to a focus on agile methods or incomplete perspectives on Organisational Agility or the use of survey methodologies, which are exposed to respondent bias and show difficulty in accessing certain aspects of organisational life. A research opportunity has thus been identified regarding the development of an Organisational Agility assessment framework built on an in-depth, qualitative multi-case study methodology. Results demonstrate that the framework is able to consistently assess Agility across different organisations, allowing individual and cross-case analyses that support the identification of different profiles of Organisational Agility. As such, the Organisational Agility Assessment Framework supports both the scientific understanding and the practical pursuit of the "agile organisation", supporting Agility on organisation-wide, back-to-back processes and operations.
