Julie explains the principles and approaches of agile working and looks at how they can be implemented successfully if the agile working approach is understood.
Research shows that Millennials and Gen Z are attracted to flexible organisations and favour products that are created by an organisation that has flexible working and a sound social responsibility approach. Agile working has proven bottom-line results and Julie shares some great information and advice on how to not only understand the underlying principles but also the best ways to implement agile working successfully in an organisation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Key values of agile working;
1) Responding to change over following a plan.
2) Collaboration over contractual obligation.
3) Working with software over comprehensive documentation.
4) Individuals and interaction over processes and tools.
- Companies who have agile working have continual evaluation and testing in place.
- The agile working approach has an underlying and fundamental belief that work is an activity, not a place.
- It can fail because of a lack of methodology and because there is a lack of belief that it can actually work.
- Agile working can reduce the amount of space required by an organisation.
- The leadership shows direction and enables action and teams are built around end to end accountability.
- You have to have a shared purpose and vision and be able to sense and seize opportunities.
- You need rapid decisions and transparency linked to continuous learning.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The task can be done in any place and any way by the employee’

ABOUT THE HOST
Julie Hogbin
I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.
In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊
I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years. In the latter years working with CEOs, SMTs, boards of trustees & Entrepreneurs.
I have worked with the public, the private and the entrepreneurial sectors of the market. The Leadership messages are the same across the sectors – the application may be different but all are Business’ where Conscious and Principled Leadership reaps rewards for all parties concerned.
I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enabling the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves) their families and the greater social economy.
I am a Coach, a Mentor (and I know the difference) Trainer, Author, property investor and public speaker
I love to travel, sunshine, smiley people, intelligent conversation, laughter, learning, networking, supporting others, property as a business, investigating ‘stuff’ problem solving, asking questions that make people think, creating aha moments, gardening and flowers and being outside.
