Overview
How does an organization become more adoptive and more purpose-driven? What changes does your organization need to go through to be more agile? The agility in the enterprise master class teaches you by answering these questions. We go through an interactive workshop that deepens into enterprise agile. Above all, it's a deep exploration into what precisely an organization needs to change to be more responsive and more value-driven. Specifically, the learning objectives explore the leadership, structural, cultural, and process perspectives of enterprise agility so that you come away from the course with a pretty good idea of how to design an organization with agility in mind. Indeed, this certification is very much the nuts and bolts of extending agility to the whole enterprise.
The Learning Outcomes include systems and complexity theory, measuring business performance from an agile perspective, agile frameworks for enterprise scaling, awareness of organizational design and structure, understanding leadership development, and engaging leadership in conversations about corporate culture.
The Enterprise Agile Coaching is the second of two knowledge-based certifications on the
Enterprise Agile Coaching Track. This certification focuses on the field of Enterprise Agile Coaching, explores the core elements of an agile transformation, and links the core enterprise coaching competencies in a way that empowers coaches to act as agents of change in organizations.
The Learning Outcomes also delve into the pursuit of professional mastery and Enterprise Agile Coaching's ethical considerations. They then look at elements central to agile transitions, such as organizational and human change processes, transformation strategies, addressing organizational impediments, and communicating, educating, and facilitating enterprises. As an advanced path, most Enterprise Agile Coaching courses involve combining classroom learning and ongoing group discussions around practical experience in the field.

What is the field of Enterprise Agile Coach (EAC)?
EAC is a set of skills that enable practitioners to catalyze the adaptation and transformation of organizational agility in alignment with the organization's vision, goals, and needs in a turbulent and complex world
EAC Competencies:
EAC is a discipline with broad awareness of business, technical and transformational agility with deep competence in one or more knowledge areas (e.g., organizational development, culture, change management, technical and enterprise practices, leadership development) and skills such as teaching, mentoring/advising, professional coaching, and facilitating.
Ethical Considerations of EAC:
Course Outline :: ICP-ENT + ICP-CAT::
EAC practitioners engage with all levels of the organization to support the desired change. Many of the tools and methods used come from several originating professions and require knowledge of their ethical context for proper application.
Organization Systems Entry:
EAC has roots in organization development (OD) interventions. Borrowing from OD, the first step in such an engagement is systems entry. That culminates in a shared understanding of the goals and objectives. Systems entry also enables an engagement and agreement on how to proceed.
Organizational Change Strategy:
Successfully increasing organizational agility requires some degree of organizational change and a wellthought-out change strategy. The change may be seen as adoption, a transition, or a transformation.
Understanding, Identifying, and Addressing Organizational Impediments:
Organizational impediments are often revealed during change. At an enterprise level, impediments are magnified in the cost and scope of their impact. Frequent complaints, challenges, or less than desired outcomes often indicate more significant/more profound organizational impediments that need to be exposed and addressed in the change strategy over compromising agility.
Human Change Process:
Any change within an organization has at least two aspects, the tangible change (whether technical, business, or organizational) and the human reaction to that change. To effect real change requires more than driving through a list of "change management" to-do's and helping people understand what it means to them and move through their internal change process to adapt to the change successfully.
Organizational Change Process:
Organizations are complex, and changing them is an even more challenging proposition. A structured and informed approach to the change process improves the chances of success of an agile transition.
Agile Mindset to Change:
Agile brings about a mindset shift from "change as an exception" to "change as a norm." That should infuse change into the organizational change process. Approaching change positively, creatively, collaboratively, and continuously enables an effective and sustainable Agile practice.
Facilitating at an Organizational Level:
Engaging varied large groups and people at an executive level within an enterprise context requires more consideration and planning than team-level facilitation due to the time and dollars invested and the more complex group dynamics involved.
Educating at an Organizational Level:
Course Outline :: ICP-ENT + ICP-CAT::
Given the fundamental mindset shifts Agile provokes, education is essential to empower people to do their work differently and allows them to contribute throughout the Agile change process meaningfully. A broadbased education strategy also magnifies the impact of coaching.
