We discuss your challenges and go through the certification assignment. This session is an introduction to the agile way of working and thinking.
• Session F2: Psychological Safety as a Foundation for a Learning Organization -The importance of an approach permeated by security and confidence to increase profitability and innovation is emphasized in this session – we need psychological safety to boost creativity through a culture where it is ok to fail fast and try again. We play “The Psychological Safety Game” to facilitate the dialogue about complex topics.
• Session F3: Emerging Strategies, Structures, and Goals Instead of long-term planning, emerging strategies are new ways of working with strategy, budgets, goals, performance processes, and rewards.

• Session F5: Creating conditions for Change In today’s fast-moving environments and complex environments, we are challenged as people and as organizations to be much more responsive and adaptable, to have the capacity to navigate in complexity. How can we make sense of things when things keep changing? How can we make decisions and act when we don’t have all the information we need? In this module, we explore VUCA. We try out a sense-making and decision-enabling framework for leaders (CYNEFIN). We explore what enables our organizations to become genuine learning organizations.

• Session H1: How HR’s role is Changing when we need to Increase Business Agility Design the talent/people elements needed to help support an Agile transition in an organization and explain how different contexts can influence the approach.

Examples and cases.
