Certified Agile Leadership® Training

Agile Leadership Agenda

Depending on the certificate combination, the subsections of the Certified Agile Leadership training first cover the Agile Leadership Essentials (CAL-E) and the historical context of leadership: Among other things, this covers how people and leadership styles have evolved over the last century and how to address this? Or, why the urgent need for agility has emerged in today's economy?
Discover the mindset and behaviors of the different leadership types Expert, Achiever, and Catalyst Leader here and classify yourself. Learn how each type impacts the effectiveness of your organization and how you can evolve from one level to the next.
In the training, you'll practice the 5-Step Catalyst Conversation, which you can use to positively impact every aspect of your work - and even your personal life. In the process, you'll also learn to balance your power styles and systematically identify win-win opportunities in conflict situations.

Learning content focused on the Agile context:

• Economic and market factors that have led to agile approaches.
• Complexity and uncertainty of modern markets and work and the related need for an agile approach
• Historical management trends and their adaptation to the business environments of their time
• Increasing employee engagement and focus on the customer to improve results and satisfaction

The Certified Agile Leadership certificate (CAL-T) deals with the implications of agile structures and agile leadership within teams, thus addressing both the roles and team dynamics you will encounter in your work as an agile leader. In summary, this covers topics such as:

• What self-awareness of a leader and what leadership mentality does it take to lead effectively in an agile context?
• Neuroscientific leadership in alignment with agile mindsets and improving leadership effectiveness.
• Soliciting and incorporating feedback that helps you adapt your leadership behaviors
• Catalyst Conversations and coaching through which you as a leader can integrate alternative perspectives, engage employees, and improve results

Next, it's about refocusing yourself as a leader on your business and its mission to create customer value. This is the third strand: Certified Agile Leadership - Organizations (CAL-O).

Here you have the opportunity to reflect on the culture, structures and processes in your organization to drive value creation and agility within it. Understanding the impact your focus as a leader has on the health, culture, and long-term performance of your organization is one of the goals of CAL-O.

Case studies of organizations from different corporate cultures will thus be scrutinized and examined in more detail. These companies are already using agile structures and patterns and are driving sustainable change with positive results.
In addition, there are diverse approaches to transforming companies in this seminar. 

The learning content focusing on companies:

• Organizational challenges and solutions when you apply Agile principles to more than one team in your organization.
• Increasing safety, trust and collaboration within and across teams to improve results
• Organizational cultures, structures, and rules and how they hinder or enhance agility
• Case studies of companies that are effectively using Agile to sustainably improve their results

Learning content focused on change:

Organizations as complex adaptive systems where uncertainty exists and change is pervasive
Organizational metrics (measures of success) that support or inhibit Agile and drive appropriate outcomes
Identify and reduce bottlenecks, obstacles, and friction within your own organization.
