Organisations everywhere are seeking to become more flexible, more adaptable to ever changing markets environments and shifting consumer behaviours. Adaptability and agility is a key competitive advantage in order to survive and thrive.
The Sooner Safer Happier movement recognises this culture change is emergent and not easy to get right. Every organisation is unique and there can be no-one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter approach. It is necessary to be clear about the desired outcomes of agility, about improving Better Value Sooner Safer Happier, as the primary goal.
These measurable outcomes will provide your feedback loop, your compass, to support the continuous improvement of your organisation's ways of working.

-
Accelerated pace of change and reduced time to market
-

-
A lasting cultural change that is sticky
