AGILITY

UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE
USING SCIENCE
UNLOCKING POTENTIAL

Agility shapes our approach and determines our success in the business world. It can be applied to organisation structures, 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, 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 VUCA world of work.

BUILDING AGILE AND RESILIENT TEAMS, QUICKLY

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. As such, an agile set of behaviours is required from those who shape and drive strategy in organisations.

The Morgan Philips Agility model, which helps unlock potential at pace, 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.
