For this episode of Digital Workplace Impact , DWG consultant and researcher Shimrit Janes joins Nancy Goebel to explore why change agility has become a critical capability for digital workplace teams navigating constant disruption. Drawing on DWG’s latest research, the conversation reframes change from a series of planned events into an ongoing, human experience that requires sensing, responding and adapting in real time. Shimrit introduces a powerful metaphor that runs throughout the episode - traditional change management as classical music, while change agility is jazz. While structured approaches still matter, today’s digital workplace demands the confidence to improvise, experiment and respond together when the pace of change accelerates. From generative AI and organizational restructuring to shifting ways of working, the episode explores how teams can move from reacting under pressure to building sustainable readiness. Listeners are taken through the three dimensions of change agility - personal, relational and strategic - with practical insights into mindset, psychological safety, decisionmaking and governance.
