Game-changing new book reveals how Being Agile can revolutionise the way
you work to achieve your business goals, fast
NEW BOOK: Being Agile in Business by Belinda Waldock
Agile is a methodology that has revolutionised the way thousands of the
world’s most fast-paced companies work. It allows teams to collaborate
efficiently, break down projects to drive delivery and continuous
improvement, and respond to changes and opportunities quickly. The agile
approach has already transformed the software development industry, but
as a game-changing new book, Being Agile published by Pearson, explains,
the principles and mindsets of agile can in fact enable businesses in all
sectors to work smarter and leaner to achieve their goals faster.
The author, Belinda Waldock is a leading business coach who has worked
to help hundreds of small to medium sized businesses to overcome the
challenges of fast growth by adopting agile practices. Her innovative approach involves taking
complex situations and turning them into a simple series of options or solutions, and this method of
breaking down tasks into bite-sized chunks has helped directors, managers and entrepreneurs to use
their time more effectively in a fresh and fun way.
Being Agile in Business provides simple, jargon-free advice that is designed to be read in an agile way
– in short bursts that can then be put into action in the real world. The book walks the reader
through agile, explaining how the strategies and tools can enable organisations and individuals to
work faster and smarter and navigate the uncertainty that all businesses face every day. As well as
tactics, tools, templates and other practical guides, Being Agile in Business provides real life case
studies to illustrate just how agile can enable leaders to find their own way to thrive in any situation.
