What if teams do everything right but nothing actually changes? Amy Tayal, agile consultant and founder of Agility X Consulting, talks with Michi Lantz about why agile transformation stalls when leadership stays on the sidelines and what it really takes to make change stick.

Guest Bio:

Amy Tayal is a Lean-Agile and AI transformation consultant, and the founder of AIgilityX Consulting. Over the past decade, she's worked with organizations across finance, tech, government, and healthcare-helping leaders and teams navigate complex transformations and actually deliver results. Along the way, she's trained over 15,000 professionals globally and led multiple enterprise-wide transformations from strategy through execution.
