Leveraging Transformation Skills to Rebuild Nations Episode 2
Sally Elatta, CEO and founder of AgilityHealth, found herself in uncharted territory as she engaged in a different kind of transformation: a once-in-a-lifetime revolution in her home country, Sudan, which toppled a 30-year-old dictatorship.
From meeting with Sudan's Prime Minister to developing Sudan NextGen, a nonprofit organization with a vision of transforming Sudan in pursuit of a shared dream of being one of Africa's leading countries and economies, Sally shares lessons learned to help broaden our vision of business agility. Her words will hopefully encourage us to let go of fear in approaching transformations and show us how business agility sets us up with the skills needed to engage in what matters most to us.

Change is the Only Constant Episode 6: Theory of Constraints
Evan Leybourn, the founder of the Business Agility Institute, has been many things throughout his career: a satellite engineer (not what it sounds like), a library assistant (exactly what it sounds like), a koala (long story), a Business Intelligence developer, and a manager amongst others. In all of these roles, he has made mistakes and has failed. Anyone who has heard him speak before should know that business agility is a journey, not a destination. But what may not be clear is that while it's a corporate journey, it's also a personal one for Evan.
So which of those mistakes and failures brought him to business agility? And what did he learn along the way? Find out what he has learned as we chat with him in this series on Change is the Only Constant.

Beyond Budgeting Episode 5
“Business agility is about finding the constraints in the system” – Evan Leybourn, Business Agility Institute founder
Where do most teams and departments in an organization encounter constraints? They encounter it in management, the budgeting process driven by finance and the performance management process driven by HR. When management and finance are about control, teams are constrained and the organization cannot be adaptive. E.g. no (or not enough) budget to hire the people when they need it, get the equipment and supplies in time, have the flexibility to try things out, etc.
In this podcast series, we explore with Bjarte Bogsnes how beyond budgeting enables an organization to achieve business agility. Though this journey isn’t for the faint of heart, companies like Tesla and Equinor (formerly StatOil) are doing this today – and are being very successful at it.

The Trojan Horse that lead your Transformation to Agility
Did your enterprise agile transformation start with the Finance and HR departments? No? You are not alone. Are they on the roadmap to be next? Maybe they should be…
Agile is a mindset and a habit, using some frameworks and practices. However, it is hard to be agile when we need to provide all the answers at the end of each year for the entire following year or when we report in a waterfall manner. So, the way we do budgeting, forecasting, performance assessment, rewards & recognition, and cost control can be either enabling or hindering agility.
In this podcast, we’ll walk through an example of how we transform the whole organisation by stealth by evolving the Finance and HR departments. By evolving it this way, you achieve the transformation at a fraction of the price of traditional transformation programmes.

A Tale of Two Agile Worlds Episode 6
After looking at middle management's, team's and individual's resistance from both the US' and the UK's perspectives in Episode 4 & 5, comparing and contrasting the manifested behaviours of resistance to Agile - both overt and covert forms, and seeing how the people perceive and react to them, we now dive deeper into understanding the various sources of the resistance.
Through the US and UK viewpoints, are we going to find the problems divergent across the pond, or are they ubiquitous? And would we be able to find the same solutions to the middle management, team and individual resistance problem?

A Tale of Two Agile Worlds Episode 4
The Agile Manifesto came out in 2001. Today, it seems that everyone is on the Agile bandwagon, making it fairly common in many workplaces. Still, whether a company is already established with Agile or just starting on their Agile journey, resistance to Agile, abounds. How is that manifested in such organizations? Where are the sources of the opposition? Do they come from People? Executives? Middle management? Individuals? All of the above? Or do they come from departments such as Engineering? HR? Program Management? Everywhere?
In Episodes 1-3, we looked at senior management’s resistance from both the UK’s and the US’ perspectives. This time, we'll look at middle management's, team's and individual's resistance from the US' perspective. We’ll compare and contrast the manifested behaviors of resistance to Agile - both overt and covert forms. We'll also see how the people perceive and react to them.
