Agile Business Training partner for a global company

Training hundreds of managers remotely in Business Agility with high impact!

The company’s R&D function engaged in a stepwise Agile transformation. During a two year period Agile HR Community has been a preferred Business Agile training partner for the non-IT leaders in the company. 

We’ve trained over 400 leaders within hardware R&D, sourcing, supply chain, quality, commercial, sales, services business, large project unit. The leaders are from all over the world and enjoy learning about Agility without the IT-language. 

Delivering high impact training virtually to a senior level audience has been very appreciated. No traveling is necessary, the leaders learn the agile digital collaboration skills in our trainings and the bite sized learning suits their busy schedules well.

  • Different time investment levels for different leaders’ learning needs. 
  • Introductions only or practitioner level – you decide!
  • Learn Business Agility without the IT-language
  • Not connected to a certain Scaled Model – any model can be adopted after our training
  • Senior level trainers with 20+ years of experience of working with management and organisational development

“Good introduction to the basics of Agile. Learning by doing was useful. “

 

“A true eye opener to Agility. The trainer clearly has a lot of experience in this topic.”

The objective

The objective of this company was first to introduce the Agile operating model in their digital R&D. We started small, with one leadership team. Now the objective is to go into full Business Agility in the whole R&D Unit (4000 + people), with end-to-end value chain feedback from the businesses (customers) and the supply chain (factories and logistics).

The objective has been to onboard different leaders onto Agility with different levels of time investment. 

Our approach

Workshop around tables

Our objective has been to invite people to learn about Agility without pushing it, and without pushing a certain Agile model. We have defined different levels of engaging learning programs, depending on the time investment the leaders are willing to invest.

  • With a 3 hour investment we’ll onboard you to the mindset.
  • With a 8 hour investment, you’ll additionally learn about Agile ways of working and what that means to you.
  • With a 16 hours investment you’ll have a view about Agile operating models, Product ownership and the fantastic practices the PO uses (very useful for leaders, too!)
  • With a 28 hours investment you can become an Agile Business Certified Practitioner with professional skills in Agile, customer centricity, developing agile teams and influencing the Agile transformations and agile operating model.

Outcomes

Leaders have succeeded in leading and scaling Agile

The leaders we have trained some years ago are now leading large transformation programs successfully.

From one group of Leaders spreading to hundreds by word of mouth recommendations

A recurring flow of new cohorts learning about Agile with great feedback tells us that our trainings are a key success factor in this company's transformation.

Adoption of different Agile frameworks across the company

Some of the units are adopting SAFe, some are adopting Kanban and a scaled Scrum.
Some are tweaking their operating model according to models in the book Agile HR (by our founder).

Agile in Hardware

The company is working to transform their supply chain and product development in hardware.

The non-IT approach is paying off.
