Organisational language plays a powerful but often overlooked role in transformation, shaping mindsets, behaviours, and the success of agility initiatives.

The newly launched Manifesto for Enterprise Agility highlights the growing importance of organisational adaptability in an increasingly complex world. 

The second issue of Momentum Magazine explores the capabilities, culture, and human qualities organisations need to thrive, adapt, and lead change.

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

Why do so many resolutions and change programmes start strong and quietly fade away? By comparing personal habit change with organisational transformation, this article shows how agile principles can make change stick.

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
