The prerequisite, however, is the right application. In the book, which is among the &#8220;Top Ten Technology Books Of 2020&#8221; (Forbes), Darrell Rigby, partner at Bain &amp; Company and Harvard Business Review author, and his colleagues Sarah Elk and Steve Berez subject the agile approach to a detailed reality check. They consistently dispel the myths and misunderstandings that accompany the success of agile methods.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bain.com\/de\/publikationen\/bain-books\/doing-agile-right\/\">https:\/\/www.bain.com\/de\/publikationen\/bain-books\/doing-agile-right\/<\/a><br><br><\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Founder&#8217;s Mentality<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>When asked about the causes of declining turnover and profitability, the managers of these companies rarely cite external factors such as the market or technology. Instead, the reasons for declining growth are predominantly internal: lack of customer contact, too little willingness to take responsibility, complex processes and bureaucracy. These are the findings of the book The Founder&#8217;s Mentality by Bain partners Chris Zook and James Allen, who conducted a long-term study on the subject.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bain.com\/de\/founders-mentality\/fm---book\/\">https:\/\/www.bain.com\/de\/founders-mentality\/fm&#8212;book\/<\/a><br><br><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Winning in Turbulence<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Recessions mean opportunities and risks at the same time.
