The Certified Agile Leadership—Organizations (CAL-O) class will teach you how to shift your mindset about the culture and employees in your organization. Leading an entire organization to become Agile is hard. CAL-O will give you the tools necessary to become a change agent and effectively use Agile to strengthen your organization. In this one day class, we will take a deep dive into how change can be approached differently based on existing organizational culture, And we’ll talk extensively about the influence that culture has on speed, risk, and receptiveness to change.

You will learn about the principles and practices of Agility and how to apply culture, organizational design and change by identifying elements you can implement in your own organization. You’ll come away with the knowledge, skills, and techniques to achieve sustainable Agility.
