An interactive online workshop where you can practice culture change, learn how to increase team autonomy and morale, and explore using retrospectives to keep your agile journey going smoothly. Join me on February 8, 2023, for the live workshop Fostering an Agile Culture.

A one-day online workshop for €450.

Fostering an Agile Culture

Adopting agile often doesn’t live up to its promise of delivering better products, faster, at lower costs. The missing ingredients that cause failure often have to do with an insufficient agile mindset and difficulties in changing to a culture of agile thinking and acting. An agile culture is a foundation for an agile way of working and a successful agile journey, it is a key factor that you need to work on.

In this workshop, we’ll explore how organizations can visualize their culture. We learn how organizations can foster a mindset and culture change toward agility and how they can apply agile practices and capabilities to deliver value frequently and fast.

Next, we’ll explore how team autonomy and morale can be increased by playing the Agile Impediment Board Game. Finally, we’ll see how agile retrospectives can be used to establish continuous improvement with effective communication and collaboration, to keep your agile journey going in the right direction.

Learning by practicing and experiencing

Doing it yourself and reflecting is the way people learn new practices and develop skills in my workshops. They work in teams to try out things and experiment with practices to learn how agile can really look and feel. I coach people, answer questions, share my experience, and provide lots of ideas. They learn from me, and also from each other.

I use many exercises, games, and real-life cases in my workshops. Examples are the retrospectives toolbox, the Impediment Game, and the Agile Self-assessment Game.

My approach enables attendees to apply the things they learned in their daily work.
The workshops are time well spent; organizations get value for their money!
