AgileSHIFT Overview
Kodak. Blockbuster. Nokia. Big businesses have failed to survive in a competitive and disruptive marketplace.
Increasing customer demand and expectation, the rise of disruptive competitors shaking up established industries, legacy processes that no longer fit in today’s environment, a company culture that fails to support rapid go-to-market.
These factors are all driving change and most organizations today know they need to transform if they want to survive.
AgileSHIFT, developed by global best practice providers AXELOS, helps prepare everyone across an organisation for transformational change. This offering provides staff with the knowledge and guidance to be able to understand, engage with and influence change by embracing agile and lean ways of working.
Taking a holistic view of an organisation, this easily tailorable, lightweight framework helps organisations on their change journey and to thrive in an ever emerging disruptive and competitive marketplace.
The purpose of AgileSHIFT is to win over the hearts and minds of the entire organisation.
This course is therefore targeted at both:
- The “change enablers” who have been tasked by the organisation to lead or be an active part of a transformation change business. AND
- Senior positions in functions that have an awareness of, and interaction with, agile delivery but are interested in learning more
Typical audience members include:
- Transformation lead/manager
- Change lead/manager
- Coach/evangelist roles (could relate to agile)
- Senior positions within Product Management, Portfolio (PMO), Finance, HR, Legal, Sales and Marketing, Commercial, Procurement and Operations
Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain why organisations need to create a culture of enterprise agility in response to a changing context
- Start to think and work differently to enable change
- Talk confidently about what it means to be agile
- Use the easily tailorable lightweight AgileSHIFT framework to champion change within their organisation
