Strong partnerships rarely begin with a perfect plan. They develop through collaboration, experimentation, and shared learning.
Whether you are a consultant, organisation or thought leader looking to expand your reach or collaborate with others in the business agility space, the right partnership can significantly accelerate your impact.
As a consortium, our strength lies in the diversity of expertise across our ecosystem. From practitioners and thought leaders to delivery partners and strategic collaborators, each partner brings unique insights that help advance the practice of business agility.
Our role is not just to manage partnerships, but to create conditions where ideas can be tested, connections formed, and value generated early and often.
What is an Agile Partnership?
Traditional partnership programmes are often static and transactional. A programme is defined, sold and delivered and when priorities inevitably shift or objectives no longer align, the relationship ends.
An agile partnership takes a different approach.
It is an evolving relationship based on feedback, shared outcomes and continuous learning. Rather than locking partners into fixed structures, agile partnerships adapt over time to ensure they remain relevant and valuable for everyone involved.
As a consortium with over 30 years of experience, we have built our partnership model iteratively, working closely with partners and listening to their feedback. This allows us to respond quickly to change, refine our approach, and ensure we are always creating mutual value.
This means you are not locked into a rigid programme; you are part of a partnership that evolves alongside your goals and priorities.
Benefits of Partnering with an Agile Organisation
Partnering with us is about becoming part of an active, engaged ecosystem.
Our partners benefit from:
- Increased visibility through our audience of over 40,000 subscribers and 90,000 annual website visitors
- Lead generation opportunities
- Access to a global community of practitioners, thought leaders and organisations
- Opportunities to influence thinking in the business agility space
- Peer-to-peer learning and collaboration
For many of our partners, particularly smaller consultancies, this visibility and reach help them to compete with larger organisations in the market. At the same time, value is not one-dimensional.
We recognise that as partners evolve, so do their needs. Our model is designed to evolve with them.
Together, these benefits help you grow your reach, strengthen your credibility, and create new opportunities for collaboration and impact.
How Our Agile Partnership Model Works
We take a different approach to partnerships. Our approach is built on collaboration, iteration and continuous feedback, making it less fixed than traditional partnership programmes.
Instead of designing partnerships upfront and leaving them unchanged, we work in short cycles to test ideas, gather insight and refine our approach as we go. This allows us to respond quickly to partner needs and ensure the relationship continues to deliver value.
A key part of our model is co-creation. We involve partners early and throughout, so the programme is shaped with them, not for them. Regular check-ins and feedback loops mean we are constantly learning what works and where we can improve.
This creates a simple but powerful cycle: listen, test, learn, adapt.
For partners, this means you are not part of a static programme, you are actively shaping how the partnership evolves.
Building a Partner Ecosystem
No single organisation has all the answers.
That’s why our focus is on building an ecosystem, not just a partnership programme.
By bringing together a diverse network of practitioners, consultants, thought leaders, and organisations, we create an environment where ideas can be challenged, refined, and expanded.
This diversity leads to:
- Richer perspectives from different industries and disciplines
- Stronger solutions through shared expertise
- Continuous learning across the network
Our role is to enable connections across this ecosystem and not to just simply manage individual relationships. We actively encourage collaboration between partners, helping them find opportunities to work together and create shared value.
This often leads to new collaborations and joint initiatives that would not have been possible with a more traditional and isolated partnership model.
Types of Partnerships We Offer
We support a range of partner types, each contributing in different ways to the ecosystem:
Accredited Delivery Partners
Consultancies and training providers who deliver services to organisations. They benefit from lead generation, increased visibility, and access to our audience.
Strategic Partners
Organisations (often not-for-profits) aligned with our mission to support change professionals and leaders worldwide, shaping the thinking and practices that make business agility real, trusted and part of how organisations adapt and deliver value every day.
Business Agility Ambassadors
Experienced practitioners who contribute their expertise, support the community, and help promote business agility.
Business Agility Think Tank
A global community of thought leaders working together to shape the future of business agility.
A Flexible Partnership
Our model is intentionally flexible. As partner needs evolve, they can move between roles.
For example, some long-standing Accredited Delivery Partners who are later in their careers, have transitioned into Ambassador roles, continuing to share their expertise and contribute to the community in new ways.
This ensures their experience continues to benefit the ecosystem whilst allowing them to stay involved in a way that aligns with their changing priorities.
This flexibility allows us to retain valuable experience within the ecosystem while ensuring partners remain engaged in ways that suit their goals.
How to Become a Partner
At the heart of our partnership approach is a simple belief: meaningful progress happens when organisations work together with openness, curiosity, and a shared commitment to learning.
By connecting people across our ecosystem, we create a space where ideas evolve, expertise is shared, and innovation emerges.
If you are looking to expand your reach and collaborate with others whilst contributing to the future of business agility, we would love to explore a partnership with you!
