In an age of constant change, this 1-day class will equip participants with a mindset, model and pragmatic set of tools to guide agile change within their teams & organizations.

Recursively using agile’s incremental and iterative ways of working to organizational change, this approach is not only a practical way to navigate agile orgnizational change, but also provides an opportuity for leaders to gain hands-on experience with agile practices and model behaviours for their organization.

Through exploring the ideas supporting the need for a persistent and sustainable agile change platform, participants will then reflect on their particular context using a range of Organizational Discovery techniques.

From there, participants will craft meaningful and measurable Outcome Statements that will provide the vision for their change platform. Collaborative design is then used to generate a Change Map that is prioiritzed and sliced into a Release Plan. After further refinement of each action, the change platform is ready to be guided iteratively over time.Lastly, participants will reflect on their capabilities as guides and focus in on facilitation and influencing as key skills for supporting their initiatives.
