- Group: In between the live learning sessions you will have group discussions and do research on Agile HR examples. You will bring your top 3 examples with your group to the session and present that to another group. The other group will then evaluate and give you relevant feedback about your examples
- Reflection and sharing of ideas on where agile would work and where it would not.
- The sessions are not recorded, the learning builds on presence and practice. We work with digital tools such as Miro.
