Let down by traditional change management? Tired of watching people try to upgrade your organisation like it’s just another project? Then you’ll recognise both the urgent need and the real power of Agendashift’s starting point: authentic agreement on meaningful outcomes, the product of participation.
With that simple but radical shift in perspective come some exciting new possibilities. We’re here to help you follow through in four key areas:
New kinds of
conversations
Conversations in the language of needs, obstacles, and outcomes; agreement on outcomes the precursor to change
Adaptive
strategy
Outcomes organised coherently for impact, for alignment, and in the anticipation of future learning
Innovation
at the edges
Strategy turned to action where it matters most, solutions emerging from the people closest to the problem
Business agility
at every scale

For free, use the mini versions of our assessment tools for use with individuals or small groups. Templates in seven languages.
Assessments
The Agendashift Delivery Assessment in particular – the one introduced in chapter 2 of the book – is for many people their first experience of Agendashift; it sets the tone for what follows, and we take it very seriously! Unlike the vast majority of assessment tools – prescriptive, practice-centric, and therefore disappointing and frustrating to their respondents – ours is outcome-oriented and framework-agnostic by design, helping you quickly build agreement on outcomes, a legimate and powerful basis for change.
Experience this and related assessments in one of three ways:
Survey
Get a taste by participating in our global survey, which uses the ‘mini’ (18-prompt) version of our flagship assessment, the Agendashift Delivery Assessment.
Free trial
Administer your own team surveys for up to 10 participants per survey with a selection of our ‘mini’ (18-prompt) edition assessment templates.
Full access
Together with several other benefits, partners have access to the full range of assessment temnplate and may conduct surveys of unlimited size.
For our workshops, the assessment is typically distributed as prework a few days in advance or completed through a series of one-to-one conversations. Survey results may be debriefed via a clicker-friendly web report, printed for group work, or distributed as a PDF.
