Enterprise Agility:
The Art of Moving an elephant.
by Belen Falcón from
How can a company keep moving and constantly evolve despite its size? The key lies in the ability to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of global markets quickly and efficiently, in other words, ensuring Enterprise Agility.
The elephant is the world’s largest land animal, weighs 26,000 lbs and lives between 50 and 70 years. It is common to think about it a clumsy, slow and old animal, the antithesis of agility. However, despite their appearance, elephants are extremely intelligent animals, can run up to 40 km per hour, play music, paint and even learn to play sports; they are friendly, loyal and able to take care of others in times of crisis.
Just as elephants, despite the myriad of qualities, large corporations could be perceived by customers, suppliers and even the same collaborators, like giants difficult to move.

With Mexico’s peso plunging in February, Rodolfo Navarrete told clients the central bank would do something unprecedented: raise interest rates between scheduled meetings.
The chief economist from Vector Casa de Bolsa, a brokerage based near the industrial city of Monterrey, was out on a limb. Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Mexico's central bank held borrowing costs steady on Thursday, flagging weaker growth and warning that uncertainty around the U.S. presidential election might cause deeper peso losses that could fan inflation.
The Banco de Mexico left its key rate MXCBIR=ECI at 4.25 percent, as expected by all 17 analysts surveyed by Reuters last week, after a unanimous 50-basis-point hike in June to keep a weak peso from hitting consumer prices...
Financial Times Chinese laws prompt global business backlash August 11, 2016.
A coalition of some of the world's biggest business groups have called on China to revise a new cyber security law and insurance regulations, warning they represent a protectionist threat to growth that would further isolate China from the global digital economy.

A chocolate odyssey in Guatemala and Mexico August 12, 2016.
Just when you think the world has become hopelessly generic, you visit a place like Uaxactun, Guatemala, a largely ignored archaeological site, village and nature reserve where approximately 800 people live in 83,000 hectares, supporting themselves on such things as harvesting decorative palms and hunting tree turkeys.
Getting there is not easy. Early one morning I flew north from Guatemala City in a small plane in which the stewardess directed a heavy young man to change sides because the plane was listing...
