Course Description

Take your Agile Leadership to the next level with one of the creators of the Certified Agile Leadership® program.

Agile is not just for teams – it helps leaders get better results across the organization. Bonus: less personal burnout.

Expand your capability—and that of your senior management team—to lead an engaged organization in today’s rapidly changing business environment. Become a certified Agile leader and discover how you can harness the benefits of Agile, Lean and other creative organizational approaches to achieve healthy business growth in the midst of unpredictable challenges—without burning out or sacrificing your personal life.

Work with one of the three leadership experts invited by the Scrum Alliance to create the Certified Agile Leadership® program.

In just two-and-a-half days, you’ll explore the best information and scientific research from multiple fields of study to learn how effective leadership helps you achieve your purpose with the flexibility to capitalize on the strengths of your organization.

As part of your preparation for this intensive workshop with DailyAgile and Agile For All, you’ll complete the Leadership Circle 360 Evaluation by asking colleagues in your organization to fill out a short feedback survey on your leadership effectiveness. Then, during the workshop, you’ll debrief your results with our Leadership Circle coach. As you uncover personal tendencies that helped you reach your current leadership level but now may hold you back from even greater success, you’ll identify opportunities for personal improvement that can serve as a catalyst for change.

Throughout the program, you’ll also appreciate DailyAgile and Agile for All’s brain-friendly training style—based on the science of adult learning—that employs interactive experiences in a collaborative setting.

With successful course completion, you achieve the designation of Certified Agile Leader®.

Why This Course?

The CAL Executive Program helps leaders address the complex challenges of today’s business environment. While a basic understanding of how Scrum works is helpful for senior leaders, they don’t need to know how to do Backlog Refinement or how to run a Daily Scrum Meeting. We spent years working with executives and senior leaders to distil what is most important for them to understand and to do to unlock the potential of Agile teams. Based on this experience, the CAL program covers:

• Context:
  • The basics of Scrum and Agile (an optional module depending on the leaders’ experience)
  • The economic factors that led to the emergence of Agile and related approaches
  • A well-researched cultural lens that allows leaders to customize their agile approach to the goals and values of their organization
• Organizational Patterns:
  • Eight shifts, based on dozens of real case studies, made by next-generation Agile Organizations.
  • The organizational structures, policies, approaches to change, and practices used by the case study organizations to unlock the power of individuals and teams
• Agile Approaches to Change:
  • The four ground conditions for successful organizational change
  • The most successful tools to meet those ground conditions in an Agile way
• Individual Leadership Development:
  • The most complete leadership model in existence today (the Leadership Circle)
  • Included is a 360 evaluation for each attendee based on the Leadership Circle model, with a follow-up 90-minute debrief. This allows leaders to “be the change” that they wish to see in the organization.

Logistics

The in-person public course spans two days and includes both pre-work related to the Context sections, and post-workshop follow-up coaching on the Individual Leadership Development sections.

Private, in-house versions of this program can be delivered across multiple half day sessions, four to six weeks apart, to accommodate the busy schedule of most executives. We’ve found this to be a powerful approach, as it allows practice and review of each topic area with follow up coaching between the 1/2 day sessions.

We are so certain you’ll receive value from this workshop that we offer a no questions asked money-back guarantee.

With successful course completion, you achieve the Certified Agile Leader® Credential 1.
