Goal

The nature of leadership has changed. The top-down, directive style of leadership is not successful anymore in adaptive work environments. The 21s century requires a new kind of leader: lean, agile, adaptive, and innovative. In this program, leaders learn how to create an environment that will allow teams to thrive with agility, innovation, and higher productivity.

This workshop is for you if

• You are a leader or an aspiring leader at any level in an organization.
• You lead or aspire to lead in an organization on a business agility journey.
• You aim to be a changemaker, helping the organization achieve continuous innovation.
• You are committed to developing yourself as a people manager or leader.

This is a standalone workshop, meaning that no prior knowledge or certifications of lean agile thinking, business agility, or continuous innovation are required. However, this is not merely a beginner’s workshop. Having some experience with new product development and business management (in any role) will make attendance easier.
