OUR MISSION FROM OUR FOUNDER INDRA A. BOOKS:
I started AFA because I was finding that organizations were beginning and ending their transformations with certification classes and then didn’t know what to do or were surprised when it didn’t work out. I want to support small to medium sized organizations through real growth supported by strong, agile leaders. The goal is to move organizations past mechanics to deeper environmental change; creating an enterprise-level corporate culture of high performance by focusing on the problems to solve not the buzzword solution of the day. The need to change things when they aren’t working is normal, but change must be intentional and deliberate.
While I believe strongly in the principles of agility, I also believe that every company needs to find a balance that allows them to make a natural progression of changes that work within the organization’s goals and values. My personal goal is that we are able to help organizations solve problems with a creative, flexible approach founded in the definition of agility; being flexible and able to adapt quickly.
Through consulting, coaching, and learning programs, we can create a broad-spectrum approach to redefining how people show up and interact thus producing an environment of higher retention, engagement, and performance.
I have worked for over 25 years to ensure this is how I have shown up with all of the teams with whom I have worked and I wanted a company that could continue to share that philosophy with others. It is more important now than ever that we foster an environment for all voices to be heard and thrive and I want to share in that journey with you. — Indra
