About AgileSherpas
It’s no good having a guide who’s never climbed your particular mountain before (how will they know where the bears are?)
We've climbed the Agile marketing mountain, so we can guide you safely to its peak. And when you’re ready to bring others along, we 'll leave you with all the necessary tools to repeat the climb.
Agility is for everybody (including you)
AgileSherpas supports marketers across any and all industries, but there are some kinds of organizations that really need agility. We specialize in highly regulated spaces like banking, financials services, insurance, pharma, and healthcare/life sciences.
Believe the Best
- Everyone is doing their best with the information and situation they have
- Look for the good in all situations; interrogate great performance have
- Rely on face-to-face (or video) conversation to avoid digital distortion of intentions
- Assume good intentions unless hard evidence proves you wrong
- Investigate context before leaping to judgment
Outcomes over Outputs
- Limit your personal WIP. Always.
- Actively seek out ways to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes that benefit both the client and AgileSherpas
- Context switching is the enemy. Fight it diligently
- Support your teammates’ efforts to focus by respecting calendars and working preferences
Bring Yourself
- Be open and authentic; embrace uniqueness in yourself, your colleagues, and your clients
- Clearly communicate your preferred working styles and modes of communication
- Give and receive feedback openly with colleagues and clients
- Be where your hands are; be present in the work you’re doing or the meeting you’re in
- We work to live; set and hold the boundaries you need to succeed professionally and personally
Seek Solutions (Be a Honey Badger)
- Don’t present a problem without a suggested fix
- Look for alternative routes if you’re blocked or delayed. Don’t just stop.
- Ask for help if solutions are hard to come by
- Help clients find their own solutions instead of spinning around problems
Exceed Expectations
- Achieve more than seemed likely
- Go the extra mile for clients and colleagues
- Small, thoughtful touches have a big impact
- Underpromise and overdeliver, not the other way around
