Agility in Organizations™ Workshop

Program Structure & Engagement

Everyone experiences and influences organizational culture, regardless of role or title. As one of Agile Leadership Journey’s introductory-level workshops, the Agility in Organizations™ workshop guides participants as they explore organizational culture and how to improve it through more agile ways of working. This workshop inspires and educates leaders at all levels through new concepts and techniques and a pragmatic approach that enables individuals to apply their learnings at work immediately.

Over this eight to ten-hour interactive learning experience, participants are introduced to the context of culture and key levers to shape it to improve alignment, focus and accelerate change towards increased business agility. This organizational leadership development workshop is focused on developing awareness of organizational culture and how leadership shapes culture (the bottom half of our Agile Leadership Compass™). It differs from Agility in Leadership™, which focuses on developing the leaders themselves.

The training may be offered independently or in combination with the Agility in Leadership™ workshop. This organizational leadership workshop is available in both a public class and as a private engagement, often coupled with leadership coaching. It may be offered in person or online, with flexible scheduling options available. To find an Agility in Organizations™ workshop in your area or online, please refer to the schedule of upcoming programs offered to the public by our Licensed Guides or contact us for a private workshop for your team or organization.

The Agile Organization Training Curriculum

Our Agility in Organizations™ curriculum helps leaders see their organization’s culture and how it may hinder and/or support more agile ways of working.

Through the six key modules illustrated below, we provide leaders pragmatic and tangible practices to identify, focus, and accelerate change across the organization.

Organizational Culture

Organizational culture is a significant barrier to increased agility. We teach leaders how to identify their culture and how the strengths and challenges of theirs may enable or inhibit agile ways of working.

Agile Organizations

Most agile transformations fail to deliver defined results. We show leaders the pitfalls of top-down/ bottom-up approaches and how to effectively lead an inside-out, values-based program to sustain agility.

Shaping an Agile Culture

Culture change is not posters on the wall; it is an intentional focus on values guided by leadership. We teach leaders the levers of change: structures, policies, and measures. This helps them to shape and sustain a culture of agility.

Leading Agile Change

Like agile transformations failing, most change initiatives fail as well. We teach leaders why, showing them how to avoid the pitfalls and to engage the organization to share ownership to build success.

Catalyst Canvas

Transformations are only A-to-B. Agility requires a disciplined inspect and adapt routine. We provide leaders a catalyst canvas: a simple tool to help focus, align and accelerate change that can be used routinely.

Agile Coaching

Every organization is unique. We guide both leadership teams and individual leaders in applying the techniques to their organization context and develop the next steps in shaping their organizations.
