AGILITY

UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE
USING SCIENCE
UNLOCKING POTENTIAL

The concept of agility is near ubiquitous within the business sector. It can be applied to working structures, a profession, an aspiration, or a set of behaviours. Most leaders have recognised the need for greater agility within their organisations. While agile processes can help with more efficient systems and structures, one of the biggest pain points business leaders come up against is encouraging greater agility in their people. Individuals and teams often struggle to fully embrace the changing environments and challenges brought on by the new world of work.

BUILDING AGILE AND RESILIENT TEAMS, AT PACE

It’s no secret; people drive the pace at which organisations can grow. Culture and leadership play a central role within the success of organisations leveraging market conditions. As such, an agile set of behaviours is required from those who shape and drive strategy in organisations.

The Morgan Philips Agility model, which identifies the pace at which potential can be unlocked, sits at the heart of our powerful talent framework, t.Frame.

We define agility as ‘the ability to work with insight, flexibility and confidence in response to challenging and changing circumstances’.

The Morgan Philips Agility model takes three dimensions into consideration: People Agility, Performance Agility and Growth Agility.
