Agile Culture Code
At the heart of each agile organization are the people - the individuals and teams - and the way they work.
This is where agility happens. But how exactly?
Looking at agile organizations through the lens of decades of psychological research, a common denominator in their
organizational culture emerges: the Agile Culture Code. The T E C model provides an actionable framework of the nine key elements
for agility.

The Agile Culture Code
T E C Model - Psychology for Agility
Based on psychological research and agile transformation insights, the Agile Culture Code reveals the underlying
nine key elements of agility in organizations. The T E C model provides leaders and teams with a clear and compelling
framework that helps to identify blind spots and levers for change.
It is the behavior and interaction of individuals and teams that make agility happen. It is the culture - biggest hurdle
and at the same time biggest lever for transformation. A potential that can be activated by organizations, teams, and individuals.
An organization's purpose is to enable people to use their strengths to sense and rapidly adapt to change to add value for customers. Psychology shows how: With Transparency, Empowerment and Collaboration.
