KEYNOTE: Resilience as a corollary to agility
Dr Linda Holbeche
Co-Director
The Holbeche Partnership
As collective experiences of the pandemic illustrate, organisations can
become extremely agile when there is an urgent and significant
challenge that calls for an innovative approach. Whole workforces have
adopted remote or hybrid ways of working. Leaders are communicating
in new ways. The challenge is to avoid ‘snap back’ to how things were
and lose the benefits of agility. To bounce back better than before, and
equip organisations for ongoing change in the 4th Industrial Revolution,
resilience is needed – personal and organisational. Linda will outline
what is involved in becoming resiliently agile, not least the ability to
anticipate, actively learn from new approaches and also prioritise
worker wellbeing.

How NOT to do agile
Freddie Quek
Chief Technology Officer
Times Higher Education
Agile is a buzzword being bandied around these days by almost
anyone. But what does it mean, and how to become agile? Is it
something just to deal with software delivery? Or is it one of the
core values for organisations that underpin their ability to
survive and thrive in today’s digitally disrupted environment?
Has Covid-19 make this question even more relevant? Freddie
will address the challenges and lessons learnt across multiple
organisational and leadership levels – from a software engineer
to CXO.

Future of work in practice: Business and learning agility
Dr Bonnie Cheuk
Digital and Business Transformation Leader, AstraZeneca
Co-Founder of Sense-Making Methodology Institute
In a rapidly changing world, leaders recognise that business
agility, adaptiveness and responsiveness is critical to innovate
and create value for the customers. The future of work requires
an adaptive workforce – with learning agility – which can keep
reinventing itself. Informed by Dervin’s Sense-Making
Methodology, and by putting human experience at the heart,
Bonnie will introduce 5 work habits that will help individuals and
organisations adapt in a dynamic world. These habits will
unleash the adaptive capability of each individual and increase
business agility for the whole organisation.

Jonathan Armstrong
Director, International Business
Frazer-Nash Consultancy Ltd.
Our society today faces many wicked problems where complex
systems like energy, transport and security are being asked to
play a very different role - one that requires social and technical
change. But these are systems we largely take for granted.
Jonathan will talk to the importance of bridging the gap between
policy-making and engineering expertise and how it can lead to
big, bold ideas to address society’s most pressing issues.

Panel discussion chaired by Ian Rodwell, Linklaters LLP
In this panel session, we will hear how Covid-19 acted as a catalyst for change in three very different
law firms. Our panellists will each share their stories. They will each reflect on what they have done
over the past year, the challenges they faced, and what they have learned about organisational
agility. We will then explore the similarities and differences in their experiences in order to co-create
a richer understanding of becoming agile. This session will be a springboard for an interactive
discussion in break-out groups. You will have the opportunity to reflect on what you have heard and
to share your own stories of becoming agile.
