One capability may be implemented by multiple business processes for multiple products and services. Dynamic capabilities are the strategic routines by which firms achieve new resource configurations as markets emerge, split, evolve, etc to improve agility. It’s about how to keep the modular design, iterative planning and improving, to bridge strategy and execution, and transcend business into the next level.

The inevitable range, breadth, depth, and pace of uncontrollable factors acting on any organizations across vertical sectors mean identifying business vulnerability, handling the management fuzziness, overcoming frictions. Agility is a must in today's hyper-connected world where the customer expects everything on-demand and cost-effective by enhancing interaction, iteration, improvement and collaboration.
