Hi Nick,
The Leadership Agility Profile you've created it's quite comprehensive, and great the 'thought provoking' approach you take. I also like that's it's not 'agile software' based. How often do you recommend leaders do it, monthly, quarterly etc.?

Stephanie,
Thank you for your feedback and interest in the LAP. We have been focused on leadership, team and organizational agility since I founded the firm in 2001. As an Organizational Psychologist, I think you will find our agility assessments to focus on leadership, team and organizational behavior versus assessing agile methodology. The best use for the LAP and our other individual agility assessment tools (e.g., Leadership Agility Profile 360, Individual Agility Profile, Agility Personality Profile, etc.) is for leadership coaching. The leadership coaching can be stand-alone coaching or built into the pre-work for Leadership Agility Seminars, which we deliver and find very valuable. The key is to work with the leader to develop his/her individual development plan based on the results of the assessments. I would recommend using the assessments no more frequently than every 6 months. The most important aspect of the assessments is the action plan resulting from them.
