Agile Consultancy

What Agile Consultancy does

Agile Consultancy is a privately held training and consulting firm founded in 2016, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with stated presence in the UK and Australia. The company operates with approximately 14 employees and delivers three interlocking service lines: Agile transformation consulting structured around a proprietary 4-phase Agile Transformation Journey; a wide portfolio of Agile, Leadership, Mental, Operational, Technical, and Design Agility training programs (1-5 day formats, delivered online or onsite for cohorts of 5-20 participants); and professional certification preparation including PMI-ACP, CCSD Certified Scrum Master, CCSD Certified Agile Mindset with Jira, and Knoco's KMCP (Knowledge Management Certified Professional). Core technology is Atlassian Jira used as a simulation and project management platform during training, with no proprietary software product; the firm's intellectual property is codified in the Mental Agility@Workplace 7-Step Framework and the 4-Phase Agile Transformation Journey methodology.

The business model is professional services fee-based across training, coaching/consulting, certification administration, and partner-led referrals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective clients are routed to a complimentary discovery call or WhatsApp contact for bespoke proposals. GTM is sales-led, combining direct enterprise engagement (notably Malaysian government contracts including JKR, Securities Commission, and Ministry of Health), public open-enrolment training cohorts (with attendees from HSBC, Malaysia Airlines, Toyota/Maybank, Kyndryl, MDEC, Tech Mahindra, Mizuho), and partner-led channels (Quantum Leapers, Cloud Analytics, Knoco). The customer base spans 14+ industries including financial services, telecommunications, energy, manufacturing, government, and education.

The company maintains a content-led marketing approach, anchored on a 10-issue Mental Agility@Workplace newsletter series published on LinkedIn, speaking engagements at EduTech Asia and KM Summit 2024, and credentialed instructor status (Atlassian Champion, PMI-ACP certified, APO resource expert). Strategic partnerships include Knoco Ltd (acting as Knoco Malaysia), CCSD (accredited course provider), SCRUMstudy, Quantum Leapers, and Cloud Analytics. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external equity investment are disclosed; the firm appears to be founder/owner-operated with organic growth.
