Report: State of Agile Culture 2020-21

State of Agile Culture Report 2020-21

Agile is shaped by the company set-up, the leadership and the people, although the detail behind these concepts is not always readily understood. We commissioned this report, a world first, to examine each of these viewpoints.

The report’s analysis has been based on a novel approach to surveying, using cutting edge neuroscience to focus on three areas: myself (employees), my company and leadership, along with an innovative method of capturing user feedback. This ensured we identified key areas for improving agile culture in organisations, while removing conscious bias from respondents. Focusing on these three areas allowed us to identify how the individual, company environment and leadership interacted to enable or inhibit agility. When combined with our background data, we were able to pinpoint striking insights into how organisations can succeed on their agile journey. The survey was a collaboration between JCURV, Truthsayers and the Agile Business Consortium.
