Certified Enterprise Agile Coach Training

Attend the advanced ICAgile Certified Enterprise Agility Masterclass to gain a deep understanding of agility at the enterprise level by learning the cultural, structural, process and leadership perspectives. 

How does an organisation become more responsive and more purpose-driven? What changes will your organisation need to go through in order to be more agile? The Enterprise Agility Masterclass teaches you the answers to these questions through an interactive deep dive into enterprise agile.

During this highly-interactive 3-day course we will show you how to design processes with agile in mind as well as how marketing, sales, finance should be engaged for business agility.
