There’s an interesting article in Forbes on how companies become agile. The SD Learning Consortium set up site visits at a number of companies, including CH Robinson, Ericsson, Microsoft, Spotify and Riot Games. Forbes has published the reaction from CH Robinson on what it learned from the other companies – citing transparency and shared information, enabling it to take new ideas as one of its key takeaways. The writer adds that while she didn’t think a visit to Riot Games would be helpful – “the site visits to Microsoft and Riot had a profound impact on us”.

“We were astonished at how a gaming company like Riot Games could actually bring a lot of value to our 111-year-old logistics company.”

Worth a read for any company looking to take that step forward in transforming its business.
