Mastering Agility in a Rapidly Changing World: A Conversation with Carla Krieger

Mike interviews Carla Krieger.

There’s one thing every entrepreneur knows for sure: the world isn’t waiting for anyone. If you’re not adapting, you’re falling behind. And in today’s environment—where AI, technology, and market demands shift faster than ever—standing still is not just risky; it’s suicidal. When sitting down with Carla Krieger, author of Business Agility Journey: Understand How Business Agility Provides Continuous Adaptability and Valued Results to Customers, we dove deep into how businesses can survive and thrive in this whirlwind of change.

Carla is a powerhouse in agility, bringing a fresh perspective on staying adaptable in an ever-evolving business landscape. She doesn’t just talk about agility; she lives it. Her book guides entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners looking to keep up with a world that won’t slow down.

SUMMARY

Here’s the thing—AI and tech are revolutionizing every industry, and if you’re not experimenting with new ways of doing things, you’re going to get left in the dust. As Carla said during our conversation, businesses today must be willing to “kill their darlings,” meaning they must be okay with throwing out even their best products or services to make room for new, innovative solutions. That’s the kind of killer instinct entrepreneurs need to adopt—being ready to let go of what’s comfortable to leap into something bigger.

Think about it. AI was the only thing tech geeks talked about a few years ago. Now, it’s in our daily lives. Businesses use AI tools to write code faster, teams use it to make decisions in record time, and content creators push the boundaries with AI-driven tools. We’re already in a world where your competitor might be working smarter, not harder, thanks to technology—and that’s a game changer.

Let’s talk about AI briefly because this is where things get really interesting. AI is here to stay, and it will reshape how we do business in the next five years. Hell, we’re already seeing it. It’s impossible to imagine anyone making strategic decisions without considering how AI can boost productivity and reduce human error.

AI is only as powerful as the person who wields it. Sure, AI can handle much of the grunt work—pulling data, generating content, giving suggestions—but as Carla emphasized, you still need that human touch. You have to critically analyze the results, connect the dots, and make the decisions. AI isn’t a replacement for human ingenuity; it’s a tool that amplifies it.

Entrepreneurs need to harness that power. You can’t just sit back and let AI do all the work, or you’ll lose. It’s about being proactive, taking control of the technology, and using it to create value. This is where Carla’s expertise in agility comes into play. She’s all about teaching companies to stay nimble, make quick decisions, and keep moving forward, even when the landscape changes.

One of the biggest curveballs in our conversation was when Carla started talking about education. If you think AI is disrupting business, just wait until it takes over the school system. The traditional education model is broken. As Carla pointed out, her 11-year-old son no longer needs to memorize facts—he can just ask ChatGPT and get the answer in seconds. So, what’s the point of school if kids aren’t learning to think critically?

Mike Fallat and Carla Krieger talk about the book Business Agility Journey: Understand How Business Agility Provides Continuous Adaptability and Valued Results to Customers.

Carla is convinced that education needs a major overhaul, and it’s hard to disagree. Instead of cramming useless information into kids’ heads, we should teach them how to analyze data, connect ideas, and make decisions. That’s what entrepreneurs do every day, where the real value lies. Memorization is dead. Resourcefulness and action are what’s going to get you ahead in the modern world.

At the core of Carla’s book, Business Agility Journey, is the idea that agility is everything. Whether you’re running a small business or managing a large corporation, you need to be able to pivot quickly. You need to be open to co-creation, working with diverse teams to generate new ideas and building solutions that adapt to the ever-changing needs of your customers. Carla’s experience writing books with dozens of co-authors speaks to the power of collaboration and agility. She’s seen firsthand how bringing multiple perspectives together can create something far more significant than anyone could achieve alone.

For entrepreneurs, this is pure gold. You don’t need to know it all. You don’t need to have all the answers. You need the ability to adapt, learn, and bring the right people together to make magic happen. That’s what Carla’s all about. And that’s why her book is a must-read for anyone serious about staying ahead in business.

The future belongs to the adaptable. If you’re stuck in your ways, you’ll be bulldozed by AI, competitors, and the market. Carla Krieger’s Business Agility Journey is more than just a book about staying flexible—it’s a guide to thriving in a constantly changing world. You’ve got to be agile, you’ve got to be willing to reinvent yourself, and most importantly, you’ve got to take action.
