According to management consulting firm, McKinsey & Co, the difference between traditional and agile organizations lays in the fact that traditional organizations revolve around a static structural hierarchy when agile organizations are more of a network of teams operating in rapid learning and decision-making cycles. In other words, the agile approach looks at organizations as living organisms, while the traditional approach looks at organizations as machines.

"Traditional organizations place their governance bodies at their apex, and decision rights flow down the hierarchy; conversely, agile organizations instill a common purpose and use new data to give decision rights to the teams closest to the information.

According to Metcalf, decision-makers of agile organizations must think about their ventures differently and regularly update their leadership approach and behavior, not just their processes. "[Leaders] need to be willing and able to change what they do and how they do it, and they need to be intellectually versatile and reflective," Metcalf writes.

The fourth element of an agile company is the actual agile development methodology based on the Agile Manifesto.
The Agile Manifesto, written by software engineers and developers, Kent Beck, Jeff Sutherland, Martin Fowler, Ken Schwaber, states:
"We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more."
At the end of 2014, a Danish toy producer Lego was suffering from poor:
To solve these ongoing issues, in January 2015 the company morphed its entire DS games organization into a team-of-teams, introduced a shared sprint cadence, decentralized synchronization and dependency management and big-room planning events every eight weeks.

Switching to the agile model for Lego resulted in:
Agile consultants who led the experiment, Henrik Kniberg and Eik Thyrsted Brandsgård, said: "[...] This has improved the motivation of the team members. Going to work is more fun when there's less confusion and less waste. And motivated people do better work, so it's a positive cycle! Another impact we've seen is that other parts of LEGO visit the meeting, get super inspired, and start exploring how to implement some of these principles and practices in their own department. In fact, agile is spreading like a virus within the company, and the highly visible nature of the PI planning event is like a catalyst."
