Mike Richardson

Mike Richardson is a business agility expert.

His first book, Wheel$pin: The Agile Executive's Manifesto (2011) asked the question, "why, despite all of our investments in our businesses (you name it, we do it), do we still experience a lot more wheel$pin than we should?" Which can cost us a $fortune! The answer: Agility, or rather a lack of agility. His second book, The 5 Roles of Everyday Agile Leaders: Cracking the Agility Code (work in progress) asks the question, "Why, despite all of the Agile inspiration and insights we are now surrounded by, does Enterprise Agility remain as elusive as it has ever been for most leaders?" The answer: an unbroken agility code.

Mike brings unique insights from the real world - as a Petroleum Engineer on offshore oil and gas drilling rigs, leader of the aerospace division of a British public company, and as a longtime CEO and Key Executive peer advisory group Chair and Speaker for Vistage Worldwide.
