LEADERSHIP AND CULTURE

We support all leaders to build a trusting environment which empowers teams and improves delivery

CLIENT CHALLENGE

With the pace of change dramatically increasing, businesses and leaders are under increased pressure to respond

JCURV has found that organisations with a strong agile culture outperform their peers by 277%. Leaders are critical to creating that culture – setting clear intent, empowering their teams and creating a test and learn environment

97% of C-suite leaders believe they role model agile behaviors, yet only 2% of team members agree

80% of C-suite leaders feel that their organisations can adapt and pivot, while just 15% of senior managers agree

The highest performing organisations have highly engaged employees, motivated by an inspiring team of supportive leaders that unite the organisation by setting clear intent.
