An agile coach or agility coach enables the broader adoption of new ways to work that support higher levels of organisational agility.
The world is constantly changing; the pace of disruption and level of competitiveness is ever increasing. Agility, the capability to respond quickly to disruption, is fast becoming a top priority for organisations; including government and not-for-profit sectors.
Agile coaches have a rare mix of business acumen, cultural awareness and process knowledge; good coaches are hard to find. And that’s why SOURCE exists. SOURCE works with clients to develop and/or recruit coaches that enable organisations to execute their agile change initiatives.
Agile coaches are a close community of highly skilled practitioners. They are wary of outsiders and those that do not understand their craft. SOURCE is a respected member of the agile coaching community; frequently hosting meetups, we operate a vibrant online agile coaching community as well as being an active member of the International Agile Consortium of Agile (ICAgile).
SOURCE provides talent acquisition and leading edge development programs to enable its clients to build fit-for-purpose agile coaching capability. SOURCE assists organisations with the management of their agile coach capability across the full lifecycle of a change program; mobilising-scaling-operating-scaling back.

I first encountered Niall's work through a post on LinkedIn as he was embarking on his journey as an author. After attending a meetup he hosted, I rapidly decided to pre-order Niall's book and I've been active in the Agile community Niall has built ever since. As I made the decision to step away from my individual contributor role, Niall's wealth of knowledge helped guide me toward a decision on the career path that I would find most fulfilling. From his ability to sense and then respond, to knowing if he should open and hold or tell and show, I never felt like I was being pressured or steered in a particular direction
Rajat Bhalla
Agile Coach
Niall and I worked together at Telstra. Niall would always look to help his mentees by giving them just enough direction and helping them learn through their own experience. He was quite comfortable in coaching the leadership team and sharing his insights with rest of the coaching group. As a leader of the coaching group at Telstra, Niall was successful in shaping the practices of the sub-org whilst taking them further on the path to maturity
