As we all know, companies are under more pressure than ever to accelerate performance and growth. In response, many functions across the organization, from IT to product development and manufacturing, have already adopted agile practices to keep pace with changing demands, while our people practices have largely been lagging behind. Decades of tweaking old practices has led to very little meaningful innovation, but we’ve reached a tipping point and now have sufficient demand from the business to justify investing in real transformation. We have an opportunity to help people be happier and more successful at work by making data-informed conversations about engagement, performance, and development a regular habit at work.

✅ Simpler assessments can be just as accurate and predictive as more complex ones.

✅ Companies who deployed agile employee engagement programs (4 or more check-in’s per year) grew much faster than others (up to 10X in 12 months).

✅ Even very large, complex organizations have achieved meaningful culture change in as little as 4 months with the right rigor and focus.

✅ The most agile companies help people feel accountable for having regular, structured conversations about People Success; inform those conversations with timely and relevant data; and support resulting actions with on demand, bite-sized resources.
