Who is this Training Course for?
This training course is targeted at both management and employees. The course is designed to clearly explain formal management approaches and enable delegates to recognize “warning signals” that indicate when work such as various projects are about to encounter issues. Traditionally, work is organized around logical operating procedures and plan-based projects. Delegates engaged in such work explore other mechanisms to support emergence of work and evolution of work procedures to reflect their own work situation.
This AZTech training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Directors and senior decision-makers
- Line managers
- Project managers
- Various specialist roles engaged in teamwork to deliver value
- Stakeholders in organizations who influence work (e.g. Quality department)
How will this Training Course be Presented?
This training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The course is highly interactive and is designed with briefings and exploration of different scenarios. A central feature of this training course is an in-depth game that reveals the power of agile application and exposes gaps in our ability to work and lead in an agile manner.
