According to the "Skills in the New World of Work" report by Scrum Alliance and the Business Agility Institute, 21% of organizations are actively seeking coaching skills in their staff, including teaching, facilitation, and mentorship. These competencies are no longer exclusive to agile coaches. They are increasingly viewed as essential for anyone responsible for helping teams learn, grow, and perform at their best, and are therefore in demand by employers in today's most productive industries.
"With the pace of change today, agility isn't optional. It's essential," said
Tristan Boutros, CEO of Scrum Alliance. "Organizations need the very best agile consultants and practitioners to lead them through complexity and uncertainty, and that's where agile coaches come in. Coaching for Transformation equips professionals with the high-impact skills needed to spark cultural change, accelerate value delivery, and drive real, lasting outcomes.
