Combined text and video

Agility Elements – what can I do to be more agile?

Based on client work 2015-2020 I developed a model to help clients adopt agile practices, named Agility Elements. The basis for the work is the most frequently asked question “what can I do to be more agile?”. Agility Elements can be used for:

Assessing individual agile behavior

Synthesizing novel agile practice

Creating training for agile practices

Strategic OKR service development with Business Agility Consulting Group (BACG)

(https://businessagilityconsultinggroup.com/)

BACG is an offshoot of AgilityHealth and offers clients customized business consulting based on agile principles and practices. Because of COVID many firms now want to realign their businesses. I contributed, as part of a team of agile coaches, to developing BACG’s Strategic OKR service to help with business alignment.
