Abstract

The United Kingdom was the birthplace of the industrial revolution. It also gave rise to the largest empire in the history of the world. Such heights still proudly linger in the national consciousness, despite more than a century having passed since the peak of The British Empire. Tayloristic management styles that were used for managing the cotton mills and coal mines of the past are embedded into the ways things are done. The Agile movement, while widespread, therefore has a challenge of disrupting long held beliefs and the way of doing things as the United Kingdom moves to a knowledge-based economy.
