Business Agility Toolkit
The Business Agility Toolkit is a suite of tools to help support individuals, teams and leadership become more agile in delivering the business goals of their organisation. Focusing on core elements of Culture, Collaboration & Leadership, the toolkit helps you pay attention to what's likely to get positive traction for your organisation's business goals, directing you towards the easy wins first.
Strategically, leadership teams understand the business imperative of being able to adapt and change with very little warning. However, how does a leadership team guide and nurture their organisation to enable operating groups to collaborate in an open and transparent way? The toolkit provides the foundations of doing just that, helping your organisation run agile effectively.
Culture
In an agile business culture, uncertainty can be handled more efficiently by a team that is naturally more adaptive, flexible and innovative.
Agile Culture Development Matrix
We have defined seven elements of agile culture DNA and developed the free Agile Culture Development Matrix, which describes five levels of agility for each of the seven elements.
The Agile Culture Pulse Survey
The Agile Culture Pulse Survey is a simple free tool that shows where your team sits for each of the seven elements of Agile Culture DNA (in under 10 minutes). We can then recommend a set of actions that you may take to help improve your organisation's agile culture.
Collaboration
Collaboration and working in groups and teams is a key skill for today’s agile workplace.
Organisations that have realised the power of extending agile practices, or wanting to introduce an agile culture may struggle to bring this about if individuals do not have the language to explore effectively what collaboration actually is.
GetCollaborating
The getCollaborating tool is a simple free tool that takes less than 15 minutes to complete and shows you where your team sits for each of the six zones of collaboration. We can then recommend a set of actions that you may take to help improve collaboration within your organisation.
