This capability enables the enterprise to change, eliminate, or newly create its own components, for example, structure and processes. This capability is needed when the current components are an impediment to achieving the desired outcomes.

A fundamental capability, which is an enabler for the aforementioned capabilities, is the ability to probe and sense the environment. The quicker the enterprise is able to sense the changes happening, or that are about to happen, in the environment, the more effective the capabilities underlying agility will be.

It is important to note that these capabilities are needed not just at the enterprise level but at lower levels, for example, teams and programs.
