What is the Emixa Agile Assessment and Why Is It Key to Organisational Agility?

Written by Sigrid Breel | Feb 22, 2024 12:48:57 PM

In a business landscape defined by constant change, agility is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s a strategic imperative. But how can an organisation know how agile it truly is, and where improvements are needed? That’s where the Emixa Agile Assessment comes in. Designed to help companies evaluate and enhance their ability to adapt, innovate, and deliver value, this assessment is a critical first step toward true organisational agility.

What is the Emixa Agile Assessment?

The Emixa Agile Assessment is a structured evaluation tool that measures an organisation’s agility across key dimensions such as strategy, leadership, operations, culture, and digital enablement. It goes beyond surface-level metrics to uncover the enablers—and blockers—of adaptive working.

The goal? To provide a clear, actionable roadmap that helps your business shift from rigid and reactive to fast, flexible, and future-ready.


Who should use the Emixa Agile Assessment?

This assessment is ideal for:

  • C-suite leaders and department heads looking to understand where their teams stand today
  • Project managers and product owners navigating complex change or delivery bottlenecks
  • Transformation teams aiming to shift from traditional to Agile frameworks
  • Companies undergoing ERP, PLM, or MES rollouts who want to align change with agile ways of working

Whether you're in manufacturing, tech, services, or the public sector, agility is what empowers innovation and sustainable growth.

When should a company assess its organisational agility?

The right time is before launching a major transformation project—or when:

  • Project timelines are consistently delayed

  • Cross-functional collaboration is low or ineffective

  • Customer feedback loops are slow or siloed

  • Innovation is stalling despite investment

  • Teams struggle with rapid change or unclear priorities

By understanding your current agility baseline, you can prevent misalignment and wasted effort—especially in complex digital environments like SAP S/4HANA, Teamcenter, or Opcenter.

Where does the Agile Assessment fit in a digital transformation roadmap?

Agility is foundational—not just a methodology, but a mindset that underpins every part of your transformation. The Emixa Agile Assessment fits at the beginning of your journey and provides insights that shape:

  • Technology adoption plans
  • Process optimisation initiatives
  • Cultural change programmes
  • Governance and leadership structures

We also map assessment results to practical recommendations using Agile frameworks such as Scrum, SAFe, and Lean—helping you evolve at the right pace.

Why is agility a competitive advantage in today’s economy?

Because rigid organisations break under pressure. Agile ones bend, learn, and adapt.

When your business is agile, you can:

  • Respond to market shifts faster

  • Deliver products and services more efficiently

  • Empower autonomous, cross-functional teams

  • Reduce risk in complex implementations

  • Stay aligned with customer needs at all times

The Emixa Agile Assessment helps quantify your maturity in these areas and highlight where to focus your improvement efforts.

What does a successful Agile transformation look like?

Following the assessment, we provide:

  • A custom Agility Maturity Score with insights by business area
  • A clear, prioritised action plan
  • Coaching on Agile principles and leadership alignment
  • Access to Agile Workshops and follow-up sessions
  • Measurable outcomes that track agility over time

Emixa clients have used the assessment to launch faster ERP projects, streamline collaboration between engineering and operations, and shift their culture toward continuous improvement.

Conclusion

The Emixa Agile Assessment is more than a diagnostic—it’s a launchpad. It helps businesses gain a clear understanding of their current agility, identify opportunities, and accelerate toward a more responsive, resilient future.

If you want to deliver faster, lead smarter, and transform with confidence, agility must be your foundation—and it all starts with the right assessment.
