Explore the human side of agility: how culture, trust, and wellbeing create happier, more resilient, and high-performing teams.

Agile Business Conference 2021

The Agile Business Awards 2025 didn’t just highlight who was doing agility well. They revealed how and why it works in practice. Over two days of presentations, panels and conversations, one thing became clear: the most successful organisations are not treating agility as a toolkit or a trend. They are treating it as a cultural shift. Across industries and sectors, from aviation and financial services to public sector and non-profits, the award winners shared what agility looks like when it’s lived, not just labelled. Here are the key themes attendees walked away with.

Coffee Break Series: Episode 4

How do we create workplaces where people feel valued, connected and inspired to stay, especially when change is constant?

An agile culture isn't created in the boardroom or written on posters. After nearly a decade in senior leadership, I’ve learned it's shaped, every single day, by small, visible acts. Every message sent, every silence held, every behaviour tolerated or celebrated. Though I’ve only been formally involved in the agile world for the past 18 months, I've come to see that an agile culture is exactly what I've been striving to create. A system that values openness, curiosity, and shared ownership. Learning more about agile has helped me better articulate what I instinctively believe and evolve my leadership more intentionally. At the Agile Business Consortium, culture sits at the foundation of our Framework for Business Agility. It is the non-negotiable bedrock, because without it, agility simply doesn’t take root.
