In Q1 2021 we released the inital Business Agility Pulse Check. This surfaces important trends such as a minority of organisations demonstrating effective leadership patterns for sustainable change.

Further Context
- Globally, organisations are at the beginner level on the topic of business agility. Agile, lean, DevOps are a means to an end, not the end.
- There are many firms inflicting one size fits all, prescriptive practices, on themselves which is not in line with an agile mindset, both the infliction and the one size fits all. There are better ways of adopting better ways of working.
- Changing behavioural norms within organisations takes courage, determination and a continual commitment to learning. Certain Patterns can give you a tailwind, and certain Antipatterns can generate a headwind.
The BVSSH Awards recognise Team achievement in the field of business agility. Awards are assigned by a panel of independent practitioner judges and reflect excellence in pursuit of continual improvement of Ways of Working, as evidenced through delivery of Better Value Sooner Safer Happier outcomes. Information about timings, criteria and format will be released during May 2021
