The big question facing business leaders now is how to maintain speed and agility in a world shaped by economic downturn and changed customer demands. For this, operating models must change in order to allow businesses to move fast to thrive.

In this report, Accenture examines five myths of agile:

Myth 1 - Speed and agility = growth, not efficiency 

Myth 2 -  You can "squad" your way there

Myth 3 - It's all about piloting and scaling 

Myth 4 - Everyone needs to be co-located 

Myth 5 - You need a blank canvas
