Workshop Focus & Participants

This unique workshop is designed specifically for senior leaders, agile/change transformation leaders and trainers and coaches.

Our goal is not to create great agile organizations. Rather, our goal is to improve organizational effectiveness by developing more adaptive leaders and organizations. The focus of this workshop is guided by the Agile Leadership Compass and is delivered across several distinct learning modules focused on developing agile leaders to foster healthy organizations and improve business outcomes.

The Leadership Compass

Agile organizations require agile leaders. Therefore, we focus first on developing new thinking and behaviors in the leaders who are then more capable of demonstrating the agile values and co-creating effective change within the organization – leading towards more resilient and effective organizations.

Content Day 1

Agile Leadership Context

Complexity, uncertainty, and the pace of disruptive change continue to escalate globally. We demonstrate the need for new ways to reduce risk, manage budgets, lead projects, and engage stakeholders.

 

Agile Leadership

Leadership is a choice. However, most leaders are unaware of the hundreds of choices they make each day, limiting their effectiveness. We show leaders a new path to improve engagement and effectiveness.

 

Catalyst Leadership

Beyond servant leadership, catalyst leaders are more purposeful, creative, balanced, and adaptive. We develop proactive and positive agitators of change in the leaders themselves and others they engage.

 

Catalyst Conversations

Leadership is not a solo sport. We teach leaders a catalyst conversation technique to improve every discussion, decision, and team meeting with more balance, voice, and shared-ownership.

 

Catalyst Feedback

Feedback is a core principle of an empirical approach. We help leaders recognize common threats and create an environment in which to give and receive feedback in a more effective and safe manner.

 

Catalyst Habits

Much like with health and fitness, leadership requires a disciplined routine in order to sustain and grow. We teach leaders the importance of, and techniques to, build their new skills into disciplined growth habits.

 

Content day 2

 

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.
