Agile Change: The Dance Party Where the Neurodivergent Find Their Groove

A free webinar presented by the Agile Change Leadership Institute
Featuring Marco Di Santis, Agile Change Manager and Change Lead at UniSuper

Agile change isn’t just a methodology, it can be a lifeline. For neurodivergent practitioners and employees, Agile ways of working can offer more than productivity and flexibility: they offer belonging.

In this candid and thought-provoking session, Marco Di Santis shares his personal journey as a neurodivergent change professional — how Agile helped him make sense of his working style, tap into his strengths, and show up more authentically. Alongside him, Dr Jen Frahm explores how agile change practices can reduce friction and enhance inclusion for neurodivergent employees experiencing change, even when their needs aren't yet formally recognised.

Together, they unpack the hidden intersection of neurodiversity and Agile—what works, what doesn’t, and what change leaders and practitioners need to know if they want their transformation efforts to be truly human-centred.

Why attend?
You’ll leave this session with a richer understanding of how agile change can be neuro-affirming—and how to better lead, support, and design change for the many neurotypes that show up in your organisation every day.

Key takeaways:

1. Understand how Agile change can align naturally with neurodivergent strengths like pattern recognition, creative problem-solving, and a preference for structure and iteration.
2. Learn how to design and lead change with greater neuro-inclusion, reducing unnecessary cognitive load and making change feel safer and more accessible.
3. Gain practical insights into creating psychologically safe spaces where neurodivergent practitioners and employees can thrive—not just survive—in times of transformation.
