Process agility

1 of our books defines this term.

The agility of standardized processes in use across the organization; how easily they can change. This is largely affected by the way the organization handles its bureaucratic requirements. Is it a learning bureaucracy, where rules can be adjusted frequently and quickly? Is it a Lean bureaucracy, where rules are enforced in the least wasteful way and as a result impose the fewest costs on change? Process agility is an important part of what I have defined as the organizational asset.
