• Abstract: This study uses 125 responses from companies of all sizes headquartered in Germany, Switzerland, France and UK to reveal perceptions of the drivers of organisational agility. It further investigates current understanding of managing principles of multiple organisational dimensions such as culture, values, leadership, organisational structure, processes and others to achieve greater organisational agility. The data set is disaggregated into four major profiles of agile organisations: laggards, execution specialists, experimenters, and leaders. The approach to agile transformation is analysed by each of those profiles. While the positive effect from a more holistic approach is confirmed, leaders tend to focus more on processes and products rather than project work. Respondents perceive that IT, product development and research are most agile functions within their organisations, while human resources, finance and administration are considered being not agile. Further, organisations with higher levels of organisational agility tend use more than one agile scaling framework. Implications on theories of agile transformations and organisational design are discussed.

  Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a key means to effectively enhance large language models (LLMs) We propose StructRAG, which can identify the optimal structure type for the task at hand, reconstruct original documents into this structured format, and infer answers based on the resulting structure. Experiments show that StructRAG achieves state-of-the-art performance, particularly excelling in challenging scenarios.

  CareerAgent aims to build a generative simulation framework for a Holacracy organization using Large Language Model-based Autonomous Agents. At the organizational level, an increase in the average values of management competence and functional competence can reduce overall members' stress levels. From the analysis of social networks, we found that highly competent members selectively participate in certain tasks and take on more responsibilities.
