The 2025 Business Agility Report: 
A Year of Trade-offs, Turbulence, and Tangible Benefits

In 2025, organizations operated under significant pressure — economic tightening, geopolitical shifts, and technological disruption. Yet our data shows a clear trend between business agility maturity and continued deliverable value where it counts: customer satisfaction, employee engagement, operational efficiency, and revenue growth.

The research reflects that organizations are making harder, more deliberate trade-offs. Many are choosing to focus resources on customer centricity and cultural resilience, accepting slower progress on governance reform and leadership development. Not ideal, but intentional.

This year's report reflects insights from 258 professionals and 244 organizations worldwide, providing an updated view of the trends defining business agility today. We're excited to share this year's findings with you as we continue exploring the path to greater resilience and adaptability in our organizations.
