Abstract:

Global disruptions, such as pandemics, economic recessions, and geopolitical tensions, have emphasized the critical need for organizational agility in crisis management. This paper examines how agile decision-making and operational strategies contribute to organizational resilience during such crises. A comprehensive analysis, including case studies of organizations, a survey of industry leaders, and extensive literature, reveals how flexibility, adaptability, and rapid response mechanisms can not only mitigate the impact of crises but also enhance opportunities for growth and innovation. The findings underscore the necessity of integrating agile practices in management to sustain performance in volatile environments. This research offers insights for enhancing organizational crisis preparedness and long-term resilience.
