Agile Leadership Agenda
The training is divided into three specialised modules, each designed to focus on different aspects of Agile Leadership.
The Essence of Agile Leadership
This foundational module is about the WHY and the WHAT of Agile Leadership focused on you as the leader and individuals that you lead.
What are the economic drivers behind agile methodologies? Why is agility crucial in today's complex and uncertain markets? How have historical management trends evolved to suit different business climates? What role does employee engagement and customer focus play in agile leadership?
These are critical questions that anyone undergoing an Agile Leadership Training or actually any type of leadership training will inevitably encounter. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to confidently address these questions whenever they arise.
To facilitate your understanding, we employ various frameworks and models, such as the Complexity-Value Matrix or the Agile Leadership Compass. These tools help you grasp and articulate how agile leadership differs from traditional management styles. They also offer insights into how value and engagement are optimized in an agile setting. Additionally, each of our trainers brings real-world examples and stories from organizations they have consulted with, enriching your Agile Leadership training experience.

Navigating Agile Leadership Dynamics
This module teaches you how to create high-performing teams.
What does it mean to be self-aware as an agile leader? How does neuroscientific leadership align with agile principles? What is the importance of feedback in agile leadership? How can Catalyst Conversations and coaching enhance team engagement and results? What are the organizational aspects that an agile leader needs to focus on for value creation?
These are essential questions that you'll explore when you participate in our Agile Leadership Training. Our training aims to provide you with the insights and tools to answer these questions effectively.

Organizational Agility in Focus
Organizational Agility in Focus
This advanced module is designed to guide organizational leaders through the complexities of long-term Agile transformation.
What are the hurdles when scaling Agile principles to multiple teams within your organization? How can you foster an environment of safety, trust, and collaboration for improved performance? What are the best practices for identifying and eliminating organizational bottlenecks and friction points? How do case studies from diverse corporate cultures inform agile leadership?
These are key questions that will be addressed in this training module. Our aim is to equip you with the insights and actionable strategies to tackle these organizational issues head-on.
In this section of the training, we explore the intricacies of extending Agile methodologies across various teams in an organization. We discuss how to cultivate a culture that prioritizes safety, trust, and collaboration.
Practical exercises are designed to help you pinpoint and mitigate bottlenecks and other obstacles that hinder organizational agility. Moreover, we delve into case studies from organizations with different corporate cultures that have successfully implemented agile structures, driving sustainable change and achieving positive outcomes.
These real-world examples serve to enrich your understanding and provide diverse approaches to organizational transformation, making this a vital part of our comprehensive agile leadership training.

Bring Your Own Ideas & Questions
We encourage participants to bring their questions to the training. Any question and real-world example from your side will make everything you and others learn more tangible. It will also result in more energy throughout the training which is connected to better learning.
