    Agile Transformation at Jaguar Land Rover with Jag Johal - OrgDev Podcast Episode 16

    Our latest episode of the OrgDev podcast is with Jag Johal.  Jag is responsible for driving organisational change and developing a culture of agility across Jaguar Land Rover. He is an experienced leader specialising in people and digital transformation and is leading an extensive programme to deploy an agile model and process across the Engineering division and beyond.
    We both very much enjoyed chatting with Jag and understanding more about what agile transformation really means in practice and how an OD mindset has helped him with the challenge.  We would love to hear what you think of the conversation!

    Personality: A User's Guide with Nikita Mikhailov - OrgDev Podcast Episode 11

    Personality: A User's Guide with Nikita Mikhailov - OrgDev Podcast Episode 11

    We're all born with a particular genetic makeup that shaped by our environment and our life experiences. But we're not born with a manual for how to use that personality in our work, how we make sense of the world, how we create relationships, or how we change things about ourselves as well

    So to help us with that we've invited Nikita Mikhailov onto the OrgDev Podcast. Nikita is passionate about studying human beings. He's a psychometrician he's just launched his brand new book personality a user's guide, and this reflects a decade dedicated to the field of psychometrics. In his career, he's worked with Fortune 500 companies and is a lecturer for Hult Business School!
