Certified Agile Leadership
Leaders in today’s conditions need to be able to operate effectively amid uncertainty, complexity and rapid change. Our Certified Agile Leadership workshops are focused on the role, responsibilities and reasons for being an agile leader. Create a personalized plan in this highly interactive program that can be put directly into action following the workshop.
We currently offer the following Certified Agile Leadership Workshops:
- CAL Essentials + CAL Organizations (Scrum Alliance CAL-E + CAL-O) (2 days)
- CAL Essentials + CAL Teams (Scrum Alliance CAL-E + CAL-T) (2 days)
- Certified Agile Leadership II: An Advanced experiental workshop (2.5 days)
If you are looking for an individual certification (CAL-E, CAL-T or CAL-O, please reach out to our team).
Stay engaged and entertained through a rich combination of discussions with peers, lecture, movies, micro-exercises and more. Our CAL workshops are taught by actual executives who have personally been at the forefront of numerous agile transformations, and are recognized thought leaders in the agile space for over fifteen years. Personal experience in both public and commercial organizations with the full gamut of agile techniques including Scrum, Kanban, scaling methods and DevOps helps instructors connect with the real-world needs of participants, instead of just conveying theory. Learn what has and hasn’t worked in real world whole-company transformations, encompassing not just software development but also impacts to HR, finance, marketing and more.

SAMPLE AGENDA
CAL-E:
The goal of this course is to bring awareness and understanding of the foundations of agile leadership. Exploring the way agile leaders think, focus, and behave allows the participants to begin their learning journey regarding what it takes to lead in today’s workplace.
Organizations today are striving to stay on top of rapidly changing business needs and are coming to understand that the need to respond and adapt quickly is becoming increasingly important. Business leaders are now required to shift the way that they think about their role as a leader, their relationship to their employees, and the culture of their organization. Agile leaders are needed to help their organizations thrive in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. (Via Scrum Alliance)
CAL-T:
The goal of this course is to create awareness about the changing dynamics in today’s world of work and equip leaders with the practices they need to effectively lead their teams. Agile teams require an alternative to the traditional leadership approaches of the past in order to achieve better outcomes and thrive in this VUCA world (as learned in the CAL-Essentials module).
This course will help participants understand how their natural dispositions might affect their team and how to influence the workplace empowering teams to thrive. Leaders will learn how to create a safe-to-fail environment while fostering a culture of transparency, inspection and adaptation to allow for experimentation and continuous learning within their teams. (Via Scrum Alliance)
CAL-O:
The goal of this course is to bring awareness to the practices and principles of agility and how they apply to businesses and organizations. Through analysis of case studies, assessment, discussion and evaluation, participants will gain insight into what practices will enable them to lead real change across their organization.
Business leaders are encouraged to shift their mindset, evolve and lead their organization in empowering employees and becoming agents of change. In this module, participants will gain tangible knowledge, skills, and techniques that will help them towards making organizational agility a reality for their companies. (Via Scrum Alliance)
