What the clients think
With a largely new leadership team in a long-established business, we needed to come together to lay the foundations for the future. Having begun a process of transforming our business and moving its culture forward to align with our wider strategy, Agility in Mind helped the leadership team with real practical tools and techniques that we can implement day to day.
This included challenging how we think, reflecting on how we lead and improving the way we collaborate across the entire business. As we implement what we’ve all signed up to, we’re continuing to work closely with Agility in Mind, to ensure that we reflect on and assess how we progress, but importantly how we drive a similar approach throughout the business, and to ultimately ensure that TES stays a step ahead of its competitors.

High impact team leadership
Leading teams can be challenging and rewarding. Those on your team need refreshing, inspiring, effective leadership and those above you want impact and results! We’re the experts at leading teams in agile environments, we’ve been there, felt the pressure and the frustration as well as the satisfaction and exhilaration when it goes well.
We developed the High impact team leadership programme to make sure we were able to up-skill those in agile team leadership roles with new methods and approaches to what are often common problems.
Those that have joined us in this series of workshops have been able to apply the practical new tools quickly so they can get results. They’ve learned how to manage difficult stakeholders, managers and execs and get the most out of their direct teams. The results? New skills, greater confidence, and a more satisfying role.

What the clients think
Adoption of a truly agile approach across an enterprise leadership team with a global reach and geographically spread and very large development team was a daunting challenge. Agility in Mind tailored workshops and executive coaching to our needs leading us to level set our understanding across leaders and their teams, improve the models of how we partner across our product management, development, UX Cloud and product marketing teams. While Agile is like continuous improvement – what gets measured gets managed and there’s always room for improvement – having a leadership level set on why Agile and how to be Agile is a pivotal foundation I would encourage all senior leaders to adopt.
