The book presents a model for assessing and systematically improving corporate agility in businesses. Agility enhances a company's responsiveness, innovative capacity, and resilience in crises, thereby creating an important success factor for businesses. For the successful implementation of an agile transformation, it is particularly important to proceed in a structured manner and accompany the transformation with professional expertise.

With the INSERT Framework, a novel maturity and procedural model has been developed, which guides you step by step towards higher corporate agility. This framework prevents typical mistakes and risks of the agile transformation and optimizes success factors by utilizing best practices.
