We introduce Wave 2 of Agile as a way to understand the high-performance results that come from Being Agile. We know many in our industry have fallen into the trap or “Doing Agile” – where people lose sight of the objectives and lasting results. Wave 2 is about Living Agile. It is in how we show up. It is in how we work with people and organizations to shape the culture. It is living Mahatma Gandhi's truth: “Be the change that you want to see in the world”. When we focus on our own behaviour, we model Being Agile. This is the only way to invite the Agile Mindset. This is Wave 2 Agile. We stop creating conflict and resistance. We become the effective leaders and influencers of lasting change in our organizations. “To be or not to be? That is the question.”
