This Elisan Partners Live Online Training Workshop is a facilitated and highly interactive learning experience, not an online lecture or webinar. Active participation is key to effective learning!

Course Overview

As recent events have shown, the world as we know is constantly being disrupted, both positively and negatively. VUCA, or volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, is the norm in many workplaces and organisations. How do we deal with this? How do we remain effective and productive in such challenging conditions?

In this live online training workshop, business professionals will learn why embracing Agile is becoming a rite of passage for many organisations, big and small. Understand what are the values and principles of Agile that can help in managing business and work in complex environments.

Participants will also learn how to make use of the Cynefin model to make effective and sustainable decisions. To be able to practise Agile values & principles immediately, participants will also learn Kanban, a work management system that helps to increase focus and productivity, and, more importantly, Customer-Outcomes.

This 2-Module progressive learning program will help you to:

• Understand Agile fundamentals that are applicable for business and corporate work life
• Understand how to operate in complex business and working environments using a simple decision-making tool (Cynefin)
