Agility is today a key dimension of organizational excellence as it encompasses the aptitude to successfully respond to changes in the surrounding environment. Existing research has investigated specific aspects or perspectives of agility. However, a holistic view to encompass all dimensions of agility development into a unique integrative framework is yet to be introduced. The purpose of this paper is to address this gap by presenting a conceptual model that encapsulates various dimensions critical to the development of agility within organizations.,An extended review of specialized literature is used to identify contributions defining elements and constructs associated with agility and agility development. A design science approach is then adopted to build the proposed framework.,Three critical “dimensions” of agility development are referred to three macro-areas of general management activity, i.e. establishing a strategy for action, acting, and measuring the resulting performance. The three dimensions are described in terms of seven sub-dimensions and thirty different items involved into or concerned with an agility development initiative.,The framework is the result of a comprehensive taxonomical effort. However, further effort is needed in terms of theoretical validation and in-depth study of single components and interactions among dimensions and sub-dimensions.,The paper provides a structured classification of agility-related elements and it can support managers involved into the design and execution of agility development initiatives.,The main value added of the paper is to provide a holistic view of agility development and a number of interdisciplinary perspectives into a single representation framework.
