Agility Live! 2023
On March 31st, 2023, the UA Continuous Improvement Program held the first Agility event at the University: Agility Live! Keynote Speaker was Coach Nick Saban. The Program included presentations from five Agility Teams, Myths about Agility, and Tips to Increase Psychological Safety and Encourage Agility.
At the end, we invited participants to reflect on what they would commit to start including in their day-to-day actions as a leader or part of a team based on what they heard during the event.
