Agile Leadership Training
Awareness Workshops
Our Agile Leadership Training develops leaders and equips them with skills and techniques to lead people, teams and organisations in change transformations needed to thrive in todays rapidly changing and uncertain times.
The Agility in Leadership™ workshop is unique in the industry. It helps leaders see a clear path to effective leadership, where they are presently on said path, and how to pivot towards a more effective leadership profile. We provide pragmatic and tangible practices for leaders to improve their focus, creativity, collaboration, adaptability, and influence.
The Agility in Organizations™ curriculum helps leaders see their organisation’s culture and how it may hinder and/or support more agile ways of working We provide leaders pragmatic and tangible practices to identify, focus, and accelerate change across the organisation.
These awareness training workshops are certified by the Agile Leadership Journey™ (ALJ).
Agility in Leadership
Often, leaders are conditioned to prioritise the organisations’s short-term value delivery. We help leaders balance that need with a growth mindset and behaviours to future-proof the organisation.
This ALJ certified workshop is the first step in the Agility in Leadership Series which develops real-time leadership awareness and adaptiveness. It improves awareness and broadens system perspectives,
Agile organisations require agile leaders. Unless leaders first develop their own comptency towards agility, the organisation will fall short in business agility and competitiveness in this fast-paced world of work.
Join a workshop to level up your personal leadership as a catalyst leader - a leader with more self awareness, situational adaptiveness, balanced presence and power, who empowers and emboldens employees into action. In this engaging workshop, leaders learn an explore the following topics: Developing the leader; The Context for Business Agility; Leadership Awareness and Agility, Leadership Presence and Power, Catalyst Conversations; Leadership Focus, Behaviours & Habits
The workshop does not teach leaders specific agile methodologies, instead it help leaders support their teams in more agile ways of working, regardless of agile models or scaling methods.
Much like with health and fitness, leadership requires a disciplined routine to sustain and grow. We teach leaders the importance of, and techniques to, build new skills into disciplined growth habits.
Most leaders are unaware of the hundreds of choices they make daily, limiting their effectiveness. We show leaders a new path to improve awareness, engagement, and effectiveness.
Leadership is not a solo sport. We teach techniques to improve discussions, decisions, and meetings to help leaders see threats and create environments to give and receive feedback safely.
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.
Agility in Organisations
We introduce the context of culture and key levers to shape it. We help leaders identify and shape culture to improve alignment and accelerate change towards increased agility.
Culture change is more than just posters on a wall; it requires intentional focus on values modelled by leadership. We help leaders access the levers to shape a culture of business agility.
This ALJ certified workshop is the first step in the Agility in Organisations Series which develops cultural awareness and adaptiveness. Built on the Competing Values Framework for organisational development, it helps align stakeholders, balance values and shapes culture towards increased business agility and resilience.
The state of business agility is not keeping up with the pace of market change and many organisations are falling behind or failing to grow. True business agility requires more than a transformation to a new state, it requires an ongoing investment in focus, alignment, and acceleration of change.
Join a workshop to level up your business agility. Whether you lead a team, department, division or company, our Agility in Organisations Workshop helps leaders identify and shape their environment to improve business performance and health.
In this engaging workshop, leaders learn an explore the following topics: Shaping Business Agility; Organisational Culture & Values; Developing Agile Organisations, Shaping Culture For Agility & Change, Catalyst Canvas; Leading Organisational Change & Transition.
This workshop introduces the context of culture and key levers to shape it to improve alignment, focus, and accelerate change towards increased business agility.
Similar to agile transformations, most change initiatives fail to reach their potential. We teach leaders why and help them avoid typical transition pitfalls and engage others to help change stick.
Most agile transformations fail to deliver expected results. We show leaders the pitfalls in top-down and bottom up approaches, and how to shape the organisation inside-out to grow and sustain agility.
Transformations run A-to-B. Yet, sustained agility requires discipline to inspect and pivot routinely. We provide leaders a simple tool to help focus, align, and accelerate change for business performance.
Organisational culture is the number one barrier to increased agility. We help leaders see their culture and how their culture’s values, strengths, and challenges enable and inhibit business agility and change.
Complexity, uncertainty, and the pace of disruption continue to escalate. We demonstrate more flexible approaches to managing risk, budgets, projects, and stakeholders.
Further Leadership Development
The workshops above are the first step in a series of leadership development. The next step is Guided Development Journeys consisting of 3 Month development cohorts. Contact us for further information on these programmes.
Public Courses
We regularly host public courses. We usually combine the Agility in Leadership and the Agility in Organisations in one offering. We are able to offer these courses individually, however, we believe that combining them gives the participant a strong starting point to not only to improve their leadership ability, but also apply and practice that new learning in the context of their organisation and start to realise the benefits it brings.
Format
In person - 2 days
Virtual - 4 half day sessions
Small groups - 6-12 participants
Public and Private Courses
Private Courses
We offer private in house courses to organisations where there is a number of participants from the same organisation. This provides the opportunity to tailor some of the content and put focus on agreed areas. It also provides the benefit of using actual organisational context in exploring some of the current challenges and the participants can collaboratively explore potential ways forward to improve the current situation. 1 or 2 days in person or online (tailored content and duration to customer needs).
The free followup coahcing sessions that we offer can be utilised by cohorts (small groups ~2-4) to help coach and advise them on the implementation of those improvements
Format - all of the below are standard but can be tailored to suit customer requirements
In person - 2 days
Virtual - 4 half day sessions
Small groups - 6-12 participants
What is the Agile Leadership Journey?
Together, we build better leaders.
In a world that is changing quickly - becoming increasingly complex and uncertain - we change the way leaders lead. Our workshops and programs develop more creative, adaptive, innovative, and resilient leaders and organisations.
We do not prescribe solutions. Rather, we equip leaders with tools to shape thinking, behaviour and focus to enable leadership and organisational agility in meeting business goals.
