The Power of Agile

AI may be changing the pace of business, but technology is only part of the transformation story.

In this episode of The Power of Agile, Evan Leybourn, Head of Research and Co-Founder of the Business Agility Institute, explains why AI transformation often gets slowed down not by the technology itself, but by the business environment around it.

As Evan puts it, adding AI to an organization that cannot adapt is “like putting a Ferrari engine in a bus chassis in the streets of Bangalore. You’re going nowhere very quickly.”

Drawing on behavioral research across 2,500 organizations and insights from the latest Business Agility Report, this episode explores why AI exposes existing bottlenecks, how leadership and decision-making shape adaptability, and what it takes to become truly tomorrow-ready.

Agile was built for change. But AI is changing the rules. In this episode, Nagarro CEO and co-founder Manas Human joins Gurpreet Bhadesh to explore the next evolution of Agile: how organizations can move from friction to flow, use AI to support smarter decision-making, and keep human autonomy and leadership at the center.

Why do people resist change, even when it’s clearly necessary? This episode explores the human side of transformation — why change can feel messy, uncomfortable, and even scary, and what leaders can do to build clarity, trust, and real adoption. It looks beyond ROI alone to unpack what truly makes change stick, from communication and leadership to the everyday signals that show whether people are really coming along on the journey.
