In this interview, Sagar Kochhar discusses enterprise agility as an organization's ability to sense change early, make decisions quickly and execute at scale without losing alignment. Drawing on Rebel Foods' evolution from a single-brand restaurant business into a global internet restaurant platform, Kochhar explains that agility is not about speed alone but about combining adaptability with a clear strategic direction. Organizations must be willing to challenge their own assumptions, disrupt successful business models and continuously evolve in response to changing customer behaviors, technologies and market dynamics.

In this conversation, agile pioneer and Agile Manifesto co-author Jim Highsmith reflects on the evolution of agility from software development to the enterprise level. He argues that enterprise agility is not simply about responding to change but also about shaping it, requiring organizations to develop strong sensing capabilities, embrace continuous learning and build leadership judgment. To achieve it, organizations must move from a mindset of control toward one of learning and adaptation. He also explores the role of AI as both a driver of disruption and an enabler of faster learning, while stressing that human judgment remains essential in navigating uncertainty and leading transformation.
