Massive advances in technology combined with political uncertainty and associated market volatility mean that today’s work environment is required to embrace change. If you, your team or your organisation is resistant to new demands, processes or opportunities, you may lose competitive advantage. So how do we identify the need for change and respond effectively without throwing our work and the work of our teams into chaos?
As the Digital Transformation age gathers pace, some organisations have embraced a new management thinking and are enjoying a sustained competitive advantage; faster speed to market, increased customer satisfaction and superior profits. This training course is designed to equip delegates with the knowledge, tools and techniques that they may apply to develop an agile leadership culture within their working environment.
This online training course will feature:
Governance of teams and work approaches
Agility and why agile approaches work
Team leadership through self-organisation
Dominant agile approaches – SCRUM and KANBAN
How agility drives continuous improvement
Quais são os objectivos?
By the end of this online training course, participants will be able to:
Identify the situations in their organisation where traditional portfolio governance and project approaches are underperforming versus the new management practises
Understand why facilitating the emergence of new ideas and requirements can lead to greater employee motivation and superior delivery of value to the organisation

Appreciate the power of teamwork and the necessity to support teams with effective structures
Lead a team in the implementation of a continuous improvement culture
A quem se destina este curso de formação?
This online training course is targeted at both management and employees. The course is designed to clearly explain formal management approaches and enable delegates to recognise “warning signals” that indicate when work such as various projects are about to encounter issues. Traditionally, work is organised around logical operating procedures and plan-based projects. Delegates engaged in such work explore other mechanisms to support emergence of work and evolution of work procedures to reflect their own work situation.
This online training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
Directors and senior decision-makers
Line managers
Project managers
Various specialist roles engaged in teamwork to deliver value
Stakeholders in organisations who influence work (e.g. Quality department)
