The Behavioural Neuroscience of Agile 

​

Abstract

​

Agile working is about finding ways to work which help the humans in our teams be the most effective. The idea of being human centred features heavily in our work and we are constantly seeking ways to help the people in our teams thrive, in order to achieve organisational goals. The world of behavioural sciences is teeming with insight and actions about how to optimise for learning, social connections, motivation and general wellbeing, yet the world of Agility is absent some of these core ideas. This session will explore some basics of behavioural sciences which can help us optimise, prove or rethink our Agile practices.
