Founder's Message: Empowering Organizations Through Intentional Change

Indra A. Books, AFA Founder and CEO

I founded AFA to support small to medium-sized organizations in their transformative journeys. I believe that true growth comes from strong, agile leaders who can navigate beyond the mechanics of change and create lasting, enterprise-level corporate cultures of high performance.

Through consulting, coaching, and learning programs, we offer a broad-spectrum approach to redefining how people interact, fostering an environment of higher retention, engagement, and performance. I have dedicated over 25 years to this philosophy, and I want to share this journey with you.

While I strongly believe in the principles of agility, I also recognize the importance of finding a balance that allows organizations to make intentional and deliberate changes aligned with their goals and values. My personal mission is to help organizations solve problems creatively and flexibly, founded in the true definition of agility.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we foster an environment where all voices are heard and thrive. Join me in this journey as we redefine how organizations approach change and unlock their full potential.

Testimonials

Happy Clients

Indra is someone who is capable of not just advocating for, but implementing meaningful change in an organization. She has an excellent ability to meet teams where they are and work with them to overcome the roadblocks that keep them from getting to the place they want and need to be. She has seen it all before and has an answer for it all.

A. Blomeke

Developer/Analyst

We wouldn’t have the team we do, without your thoughtful guidance and patience. We wouldn’t be where we are in the project, without your gentle nudging and brilliant leadership. And the stories! I will definitely miss the stores! I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done.

J. Dahlquist

Managing Director

Indra is wonderful to work with, and has exceptional expertise in mentoring, coaching, and leading teams. She is consistently motivated to transform workplace culture through her passions in Agile practices. I was impressed by her ability to manage and coach even the most complicated teams, creating long-lasting team camaraderie and efficiencies.

R. Das

Proposal Manager

Having been trained in more traditional, rigid, PMP standards, it was remarkable how much more practical and effective the agile process turned out to be. Indra's influence on how we do business will long outlive our shared contract and has already spread its virtues to other areas of the organization. I will continue to default to her leadership and expertise as I progress in my own understanding of the agile process.

J. Osborn

Manager

Agile. Mentor. Leader.

These three things come to mind when I think about Indra Books. She had this magnetic attraction derived from her confidence, compassion, and determination to keep the team moving forward.
