About us
We – Karim Harbott and Sohrab Salimi – joined forces to create the Business Agility Academy because we both saw the gap in current agile certifications programs to rigorously accredit and certify true business agility knowledge and experience. At the same time, even the most prestigious MBA programs do not cover the content relevant for leaders in today’s VUCA world.
In order to help individuals (leaders on various levels) drive real organizational change towards true business agility we aim to create a program where the best educators in the space of business agility can connect with the most vivid learners. This program is a space where a community of global leaders can learn from us, other educators, and each other.
