Craig’s career in technology and business spans three decades in a host of varied business segments including retail, financial, medical, insurance, telecommunications and distribution. Eleven years ago, he landed (quite by happenstance) on agility. Since then, Craig has dedicated his time to educating, guiding and mentoring people and organizations to realize the potential value of agility across all parts of any organization, and the power of disruptive and innovative thinking.
Craig started The Human Agility Project to research discoveries in neuroscience, brain plasticity, the origins of emotion and emotional intelligence, and the physiology of human change. This has allowed him to incorporate this new understanding into more effective coaching and mentoring, with a deeper understanding of how to find and incorporate those missing pieces of the puzzle.
Craig spent much of his earlier career in traditional development, management and finance environments and has a true appreciation and understanding of the challenges in agile transformations. Craig’s approach to these challenges is to Respect the Organization’s History – Change the Frame of Reference – Guide the People to a New Understanding – Build a New Independence. This is Human Agility.
