Building an Agile Mindset and
Being Agile in the Workplace

The only constant is change and we often feel under pressure to keep up in this disruptive workplace where cost-cutting and scarcity of resources are the new norm.  We are challenged on a personal level, as well as in our careers, to manage conflicting priorities and maintain a work-life balance.
