Typical challenges we solve

icono de alerta

Change doesn’t stick

Framework-led changes that result in minor improvements and a lot of the same behaviours and challenges.

alert icon

Change resistance

People are unclear why things are changing and what was wrong with the previous way of doing things.

alert icon

One-size-fits-all approach

Change is not generating the expected results and many teams complain it's made things worse.

alert icon

Lack of adaptability

As challenges emerge, the change team is unable to adapt and results suffer.

Agilar was a key partner in our Agile transformation - their experience in scaling, organizational design, and change management was invaluable in helping us deal with the challenges of changing our organization and improving our agility.

Why companies choose to work with us

Strategy-aligned Icon

Strategy-aligned

Our focus is not in making you “look Agile”. We're here to help you succeed in your market. That means starting with your strategy, and then designing systems and introducing changes to support it.

Adaptive change Icon

Adaptive change

Our experience shows that Agile transformations fail because they are not able to adapt to learnings and challenges experienced along the way. Our change approach is pattern-led, and focused not on implementing one specific operating model, but rather on discovering ways to improve value delivery.

Context-sensitive icon

Context-sensitive

Agility means different things for different organizations. No two change initiatives should be the same because they depend on the organization's strategy, context, and capabilities. Our experience helps us adapt the approach and present alternatives, to enable organizations to take control of their change initiative.

Growing capabilities Icon

Growing capabilities

Part of the change is related to upskilling people, adapting ways of working, and improving quality standards to grow the capabilities needed for the business strategy. We improve return-on-investment for these activities by focusing on the key skills and processes needed for those capabilities.

Why do our clients continue to work with us?

Pragmatism & flexibility

We are framework-agnostic and believe impactful change starts not from processes and structures, but rather from the organization's strategy, culture, and goals. Focusing on those (rather than frameworks) makes change grounded to the reality of teams and value delivery. For strategic change initiatives, this pragmatism means changes are focused around growing the capabilities to enable the business strategy. And adapting whatever is not working well along the way, thus maximizing the chances for positive outcomes.

Change management expertise

We believe the biggest reason change initiatives fail is not because of lack of leadership support, resistance to change, or lack of budget. We believe change fails mostly because of lack of good change management. Our approach combines the Kotter model with our experience in defining leading and lagging indicators that enable our clients to track the impact the change is having on the business. For strategic change initiatives, this means ensuring there is alignment on change goals, and the resources and people necessary to achieve it. Issues are identified early and addressed quickly.
