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.

As we draw to the close of 2025, it’s a good moment to pause and reflect on what has been a busy and exciting year for the Consortium. From launching new initiatives to deepening our engagement with members, partners, and communities, we’ve made progress across many fronts, and there’s plenty to celebrate

Saying no isn’t easy, but it can be transformational. In this blog, discover how a month of “NOvember” helped to break the cycle of overcommitment, reclaim time, and build a practical ‘yes filter’ using agile tools. Learn how zero-based time management and simple frameworks can help you protect your energy too.

As we evolve our strategy, we’re simplifying our membership model to make it more inclusive, scalable, and focused on impact. From 31st November 2025, the Consortium will offer three clear routes to engage with us: Subscribers, Individual Membership, and Corporate Membership.

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.
