Business Agility is the new competitive advantage!
By Mr Jamie Donoghue, Director and Principal Consultant at VisionLed Consulting
Being agile is an inherent trait of all start-ups. With a small cross-functional team that are close to their customers they can; implement new ideas quickly, scale rapidly, challenge industry leaders and increasingly come out victorious. In our digital world, it is no longer the big fish that eats the small fish, it is the fast fish that eat the slow.
Join Jamie as he explains how adopting the 7 Principles of Business Agility can enable larger and slower organisations to make the shift towards a ‘more agile’ operating model that can help you keep up with the competition.

Cultural Agility
By Ms Lisa Duty, Enterprise Agile Coach, Director and General Manager, Asia at EPiC Agile
In creating agile organisations and driving transformation, it's impossible to overstate the importance and impact of culture. Organisations are complex relationship systems and to deliver a successful transformation, it is critical that leaders, coaches and others listen to, understand, communicate and respond authentically and with empathy to the humans within the relationship system. In Asia, this inevitably includes multiple cultural contexts and locations, each with their own nuances and organisational subcultures. Lisa will explore culture and its importance in agile organisations and transformations, with examples from local and international organisations.

Demystifying Agile Coaching
By Mr Aaron Chua, Principal Lecturer and Consultant, NUS-ISS Digital Agility Practice
As organizations are increasingly adopting agility organization wide, it is no longer a matter of replicating the agile practices at micro level across more teams. Rather, it requires the rewiring of the core organization-wide processes. Organizations need solid agile coaching skills to help establish this deep, institutional capability so to become a truly agile. This coaching responsibility cannot lay in the hands of the Scrum Masters or dedicated coaches alone. It is a responsibility for all managers and leaders and not just Scrum Masters or dedicated coaches. In this session, we will be sharing some myths and realities about Agile coaching to help those who need to take it up understand more about what agile coaching is really about and why it is important.
