What are the key differences between traditional and agile organizations according to McKinsey?

According to McKinsey, traditional organizations place their governance bodies at the top, and decision rights flow down the hierarchy. On the other hand, agile organizations instill a common purpose and use new data to give decision rights to the teams closest to the information. This allows an agile organization to ideally combine velocity and adaptability with stability and efficiency.
