If you want to cope with the fast and unpredictable changes in the business world, you need to be agile and flexible. Being agile means you can transform yourself, respond quickly, and achieve success in a complex and uncertain environment. You can develop a culture of agility by practicing six key elements:
A mindset of agility: Being flexible and adaptable to changing situations and needs, and being open to new ideas and feedback.
A safe and trusting atmosphere: Creating a work environment where people feel comfortable sharing their opinions, taking risks, and learning from mistakes.
A collaborative and diverse approach: Working together with people from different backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, and leveraging their strengths and insights.
A constant learning attitude: Curious and eager to learn new things, and seeking opportunities to improve oneself and others.
A broad and inclusive perspective: Aware of the bigger picture and the impact of one’s actions on others, and respectful and empathetic to different views and needs.
A readiness for change: Prepared and willing to embrace change, and be proactive and innovative in finding solutions.
These elements will help you work together effectively, creatively, and swiftly, and adjust to changing customer needs. A culture of agility also requires clear and open communication, so that you understand the reasons behind strategic choices and can offer better suggestions. By developing a culture of agility, you can become more lively, inventive, and strong.

I can tell you some examples of companies that are agile. They can change quickly and easily to meet their customers’ needs and solve problems. One source says some of the agile companies are:
Google: A company that makes many things like search engines, email, maps, and more. They use a way of working called Scrum to make and test new things. Each group of people can choose how they want to work and what tools they want to use. One of the things google made with Scrum was Google Adwords, which is a way for businesses to show ads on the internet.
Amazon: A company that sells many things online. They care a lot about their customers and what they want. They make new things very fast and try different things. Amazon has many groups of people that can work on their own and decide what to do.
Netflix: A Company that lets you watch movies and shows online. Netflix have a culture of freedom and responsibility, which means they let their people take chances and learn from mistakes. They use a way of working that lets them make new things quickly and get feedback from their customers.
Adobe: This is a big company that makes software for things like photos, videos, design, and more. They changed their way of working to make their products better and their customers happier.
