Hello Agility helps you build leadership and relationship skills so that you (and your teams) can outperform in life and at work
“Agility represents the ability to think quickly and clearly; to learn and make decisions with speed; to move with grace, elegance and ease. It represents human performance at its finest””
The Business Agility Institute studied 123 organisations from around the world between 2018 and 2024, and found that:
those who increased their business agility maturity saw revenue per employee increase by 31% year on year (on average)
outdated leadership capabilities remained the most common and most impactful challenge that organisations faced in their pursuit of outperformance through agility
During the recent third and fourth industrial revolutions, the focus on individuals and interactions, customer collaborations, working solutions and being responsive to change in agile ways of working laid down the foundational leadership expectations for an age that was defined by digitisation and rapid technological advancement
We are now in the cognitive age of the fifth industrial revolution where humans, machines and the environment are meant to be working together to ensure the planet is happy, healthy and sustainable
Those foundational leadership expectations have changed
Deeper leadership and relationship skills have become a necessity in elevating the human experience, in leveraging our unique cognitive and emotional strengths and in supercharging our human performance when augmented by the execution prowess of machine capabilities
“We used to focus on doing, executing and interacting; now it’s about exploring, connecting and elevating the human experience. That redefines the very nature of work and how we need to go about our business”
“One day” or Day 1? The choice is yours
Work with Hello Agility collectively as a leadership team to build the leadership and relationship skills required for humans, machines and the environment to work together in pursuit of a happier, healthier and more sustainable planet. Give yourself every opportunity to outperform in life and at work
“Culture has to be thought of as a system of interactions, and these systems of interactions are literally going to be the operating system of an organisation tomorrow”
Typical reasons why people engage in the Leading with Agility program:
“We’re working in an ‘agile’ environment, but my leadership team and I don’t really know what that practically means for us as senior leaders. We get a lot of technical training when it comes to things like frameworks, processes and tools but nothing in terms of our human skills to help us succeed in our roles”
“I’m feeling the tension between running and changing my business at the same time. There is a disconnect somewhere in the way that we think, interact, work and lead together in my team but I don’t know what or how to move forward as a leader or leadership team”
“I’m unsure how my leadership team and I can best engage, lead, help and support our teams as we leap towards a world where harmonious collaborations between humans and machines is becoming a reality. I know we need to show up differently, but we don’t know the what or the how. Help us figure out what that looks like and to put together some strategies to execute”
