Agile-ADapT®: The ‘Guiding Principles’ for Digital Business Transformation
Agile-ADapT® (Agile Digital Transformation) provides a clear framework to guide companies through the complex challenges of digital transformation. It combines agile principles with the specific demands of the digital age, helping organizations not only respond to change but actively shape it. Agile-ADapT® promotes high flexibility, continuous innovation, and the ability to adapt and evolve sustainably in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment. These guiding principles lay the foundation for long-term competitiveness and innovation.
The Role of Agile-ADapT in the Modern Business World
In an era where technological advancements and global competition put increasing pressure on companies, the ability to adapt quickly is crucial. Agile-ADapT® integrates the tools and methods needed to address these challenges, helping organizations establish dynamic and agile structures. These structures enable efficient change management and empower businesses to proactively shape their future.
Key Principles of Agile-ADapT®
The framework is based on several key principles:
Customer Orientation: Agile-ADapT® places the customer at the center of all activities. By continuously gathering feedback and involving customers in development processes, the framework ensures that solutions provide real value.
Agility and Flexibility: Rapid responses to market changes and technological advancements are essential. Agile-ADapT® enables companies to adapt quickly and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Continuous Improvement: Through regular evaluation and optimization of processes and technologies, the framework ensures a steady increase in efficiency and innovation.
Collaboration: Agile-ADapT® promotes a collaborative work culture where diverse teams work together on solutions. This leads to innovative approaches and more effective problem-solving.
Phases of the Agile-ADapT® Process
Agile-ADapT is structured into different phases that guide the transformation process:
EXTRACT: This phase establishes the strategic foundation by clarifying the company’s mission, values, and vision, aligning the transformation with strategic goals.
EXPLORE: Innovation is fostered in this phase, focusing on the development of new business models or products.
EXPAND: The emphasis is on scaling the achieved results and accelerating value creation.

Agile-ADapT® Leader
An Agile-ADapT Leader is trained to coordinate and manage the initiatives of a digital business transformation. Building on the knowledge of a B.A.T. Agent, the Agile-ADapT Leader learns how to internally align and synchronize the different phases of the ADapT model. As the name suggests, ADapT requires a high degree of adaptability. The iterative nature of the method means that changes are implemented gradually and in carefully considered steps. Each phase (EXTRACT, EXPLORE, EXPAND) demands particular attention and targeted leadership.
The training provides deep insights into key topics such as Jobs-To-Be-Done, Innovation Sprints, and the five types of innovation (according to Botha, J.). These are essential concepts that every future-oriented company should master. The Agile-ADapT Leader integrates these elements into a holistic transformation process and actively drives their implementation.
Preparation for the training is self-organized and serves as the foundation for the three-day in-person training. The training focuses on practical exercises, including a simulated, AI-supported Innovation Sprint that tests the acquired skills in a realistic environment.
The training materials are based on publications by Joann H. Botha, the developer of Agile-ADapT, and Christoph Danker, training leader at Gateway2Agility and co-author of the book "Stop Changing, Start the Future – Transforming Your Business With Agile-ADapT" (Q1-2025).
Certification is conducted by Agile-ADapT® and includes a written exam as well as a final interview, which can be conducted with Johann Botha (in English) or Christoph Danker.
