Perhaps, what makes Agile difficult for lot of managers to grasp is that it’s not just a technology, methodology or process that gets implemented within an enterprise’s current culture and assumptions. The Agile way of running an organization seeks to fundamentally redefine the very concept of an enterprise which has prevailed for the last one hundred years.

Instead of an enterprise being conceived as an efficient, profitable steady-state machine aimed at exploiting its environment and existing business model and the industry its part of, the Agile organization is a growing, learning, adapting living organism that is in constant flux to exploit new opportunities and add new value for customers.
