All Organizations are complex Human Systems, and most aspire to achieving the highest level of performance for their Stakeholders. There are however many different Stakeholders often with different Agendas’ and it is the role of Leadership and Leaders in the organization to align those Agendas in order to agree and achieve target goals & performance, and complete any Transformation or Change required to succeed.
The world organisations exist in today is more Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA). This means there is a continuous flow of forces for change on most organisations and a higher degree of unpredictability in what those forces might be? when they will occur? how long they will last? and how they will behave?
Organisations are complex systems made up of many diverse elements that usually influence or impact on each other in different ways. We describe these influences or impacts as ‘The Inters’.
When we consider the points above it is easy to understand;

1. Why many organizations fail to optomize their performance and stakeholder value creation,
   
2. Why a high percentage of transformation and change initiatives fail to deliver on target outcome goals and,
   
3. Why building Systemic Organization Agility has become an integral component for the Performance imperative.
   

Agility is “The ability to sense, think, comprehend, and act, easily and quickly”. In effect Agility is the ability to change. The concept is easy to understand but harder to achieve, because of the complex interdependencies and interrelationships within organisation systems and sub-systems.
The Functioning, Performance & Agility of any organization is ultimately determined by the range, relevance and level of its Capabilities.
Capability Maturity Management ‘Next Generation Change & Transformation’ Capabilities are most often defined as ‘The ability to mobilise resources to achieve an Aim’. This is quite a general description but it captures the essence of what a Capability is. The strength of understanding and managing Capabilities is that it can apply at any organisation group or level and, to any person or thing. From a Business & Management perspective we are mainly concerned about the Capabilities of:

• Organisations
  
• Functions
  
• Teams
  
• Processes
  
• Activities
  
• People
  
• Machines
  

The Maturity Level defines the Functioning Level of an Organisation, Team or Specific Capability which can be measured and stated as the existing habituated level (measured level). So, the Maturity Level describes the Functioning Level and explains the consequential Performance, Practices and Behaviours.
The Maturity Level also describes the ‘Learning Level’ for an Organisation, Team or Specific Capability. The ‘Learning Level’ may be described as the ability to change, in other words the nature, magnitude and frequency of change that can gain sustainable traction (In effect the Agility).
