Developing Leaders and Their Organizations
We believe leaders must role-model agile thinking and behaviors for organizations to improve their effectiveness, as organizations mirror their leaders. Our program challenges both the individual leader and the organization they lead toward agile ways of working to improve business outcomes.
Agility in Leadership
This leadership training workshop is the introduction to awareness practices and the starting point in our Agility in Leadership Series. Participants are introduced to the Leadership Agility Framework and core catalyst practices to improve self-awareness, and situational adaptiveness and effective behaviors amid complexity and uncertainty. From executing work to leading projects and serving in organizations, leaders grow in awareness, openness, engagement and execution. This leadership career workshop helps to broaden perspectives, engage stakeholders, co-create solutions, and foster innovation.
This workshop also provides the context, framework and tools for leaders to improve their own leadership awareness and adaptiveness to improve engagement and outcomes.
Agility in Organizations
This leadership workshop is the introduction to developing cultural awareness and how to align, focus, and accelerate change throughout organizations. This first step in our Agility in Organizations Series helps leaders learn to identify and shape culture toward more iterative, adaptive, innovative, and sustainable practices. Participants are introduced to the context of business agility and culture, the Competing Values Framework (CVF), and key levers and leadership focus to develop increased business agility.
This workshop provides the context, framework, and tools for leaders to develop awareness of organizational culture and systems to improve business agility, performance, and health.
Engaging Leaders in Learning
“This wasn’t training, it was an experience. We were never taught at, we were engaged in a learning experience in which we both participated and contributed. I have never been so engaged and learned so much in just two days.”
Workshop Participant
Learning does not happen through watching slides on a screen. Learning happens when participants engage deeply in the content and context of the learning. Participants of this workshop are provided multiple learning modes to deeply engage with the content, including instructor led, participant led, shared discussions and self-reflective activities.
INSTRUCTOR FACILITATION
All Instructor Facilitators are experienced agile leaders and guides developing agile mindsets and charting agile journeys. Workshops are graphically facilitated with NO PowerPoint! Facilitators all teach to a common core curriculum and collaborate, co-create and co-facilitate to assure a consistent quality experience.
PARTICIPANT PRACTICE
Participants share responsibility in applying and practicing the learning objectives to solidify their understanding. Through individual assessment, small group discussions, co-creative exercises, and whole-class facilitation, these shared practice opportunities enable leaders to integrate the learning into their daily practice.
SHARED DISCUSSIONS
Participants work closely with peers to learn and apply topics across each of their perspectives. This enables participants to dive more deeply and share in the exploration of them. With public workshops, leaders learn from across the industry. With private engagements, leaders develop a shared language and practice.
LEARNING REFLECTION
Throughout the workshop participants reflect upon, strategize, integrate and apply the learning to their personal and organizational context. It is through these reflective moments where leaders begin to visualize their own leadership practice and take the learning back to the workplace.
Globally Networked & Certified
Our Agility in Leadership, Agility in Organizations and Applied Agility in Leadership and Organizations are fully integrated and extended into the Agile Leadership Journey Global Community whose goal is to align, build and deliver on a common leadership and organizational development curriculum.
