Duration
Agile Change Agent
3 days
OVERVIEW
Agile approaches are increasingly adopted by organizations as they recognise the need to respond quickly and easily in a world of complex and continuous change.
For those responsible managing change (e.g. project managers/change managers), professional development opportunities are readily available and relatively easy to identify. But what about wider team members involved in ‘making change happen’? They don’t necessarily need a full project/change manager qualification and managing/implementing change isn’t necessarily their day job. But they do need to understand the impact of Agile working and the effects of change, so they’re better prepared to support the implementation of Agile and change, those leading initiatives, and those impacted by the change.

OBJECTIVES
The Agile Change Agent course is designed to build practical ability in agile and change to support effective transformation and change initiatives.
Participants will learn about agile ways of working and how an agile approach impacts their role and interaction with those driving and leading change. The course also equips participants with pioneering tools to ensure change initiatives are embedded, adopted and deliver benefits throughout their organizations.
Less focused on the theories of change, it is a very hands-on course full of opportunities to “see, do, learn”, packed with exercises and practical tools, tips and advice.

- make decisions about how to allocate the available time to deliver greatest value.
- understand how to prioritise activities according to their business value
- apply techniques to identify the benefits of your change and how each of these benefits are dependent on each other.
- define the information you need to manage your change initiative
- understand who you need to involve and how to best engage with them through empathy and trust
- identify your preferences for how you do your work and how this might impact those you are working with.
