Four Principles That Drive Our Work
At the core of McKenna Agile Consultants' philosophy are four key principles that drive every client engagement.
Nurturing People
Great products and successful business outcomes start with great people. We believe people are an organisation's greatest USP — enabling individuals and teams to thrive by fostering environments where talent grows and innovation flourishes.
Driving Quality
Quality is central to everything we do. By focusing on driving quality, we help organisations improve both their people and products. Our commitment to excellence is measured and maintained to ensure high standards are consistently met.
Leading by Example
Leadership is about influence and accountability. We emphasise leading by example, demonstrating the agile way through our own actions. This approach builds trust and credibility, reinforcing continuous improvement and strategic agility. We practice what we preach.
Collaborative Engagement
Whether it's an agile transformation, OKR implementation, or training programme, our engagement process is designed to align with each client's strategic goals. Collaboration with clients is imperative for a successful project.
From Harrogate to Four Continents
Since 2004, we've grown from a Yorkshire-based consultancy to a globally recognised practice delivering Agile, OKR and AI-first transformation across the UK, USA, Europe and beyond.
