The Enterprise Agility Masterclass and Certified Agile Leadership course are a worthwhile and valuable combination. Our learners have reported important benefits when they have attend both classes.

How are these classes different?

The Enterprise Agility Masterclass (ICP-ENT) looks specifically at what about an organisation needs to change in order for it to be more responsive and more value driven. It covers design processes with agile in mind as well as how marketing, sales, finance should be engaged for business agility. You will also gain skills, tools and techniques to overcome common dysfunctions like handoffs and waste and how to design a system that supports high-performance, customer focus, and facilitates agility. Although this class does touch on some of the leadership and culture perspectives it doesn’t go into the depth of leadership and culture like the CAL1

The Certified Agile Leadership (CAL1) course looks specifically at leadership on both a personal and professional level and how this impacts our organisations, our organisations’ culture and in particular those organisations that are moving towards agile ways of working. There is lots of practice with valuable leadership models. It will leave you feeling like you have gone through a deep transformation that has significant impact on the your understanding of leadership, culture and agile transformation.
