Long synopsis (optional):	Hi5 is an IT consultancy in Umeå, Sweden. They develop software and provide bespoke IT solutions to their customers around their region. For 10 years they’d had revenue growth of 3.4% per year – but then it went up to 52%, sustained over 4 years. How did they do that? In short, they adopted an Agile mindset - valuing individuals and interactions, making progress rapidly and incrementally, collaborating and responding to change. They used a toolset called “Solutions Focused Brief Coaching” to achieve this Agile mindset, and achieve results such as: • More efficient planning workshops with customers – taking hours instead of days, and increasing flexibility on the customer side, enabling Hi5 to deliver better service at lower cost. • A “monster” project, which they estimated would take 12-18 months, was competed in 2 months. • Faster decision-making – for example, a 2 year deadlock resolved in 5 minutes • Meetings that are 3x more effective (in the same length of time) • Performance Appraisals that people look forward to – and after which, people “can’t wait to get started.” In this talk and workshop you will • Hear how Hi5 generated these remarkable results • See a simple model of this Agile Mindset for complex situations • Get an overview of the “Solutions Focused Brief Coaching” toolset they used to generate this Agile Mindset • Learn one very simple coaching tool you can use yourself, to be more Agile in any meeting, and generate faster progress amidst challenge and complexity Max size: 5000 chars
