ICAgile Business Agility Foundations (ICP-BAF)

Today’s world is dynamic, fast-moving and unpredictable.  Change is the only constant, disruption a key expectation, and continuous innovation now vital to survival. Strategic tools that served us faithfully in the past, no longer apply. Whatever your industry or sector, these challenges affect us all. In situations subject to rapid change, it’s vital that you and your organisation remains agile and responsive. Its no wonder that Business Agility has been described as “the business revolution everyone is talking about”.

As the world around us changes at an unprecedented pace, some organisations have, not only navigated through the uncertainty with relative ease, but used it as an opportunity to improve and outpace their peers and challengers. Imagine if you could do the same.

Our unique program offers leaders at all levels, an intense, strategic appreciation of Business Agility and the ingredients to create an agile organisation that is responsive to value creation in a disruptive environment.

Designed from the ground up, this practical Business Agility accelerator workshop is designed to help you to speed up your business, to focus on what’s important, reduce waste and red tape, and most importantly, deliver value to your business and your customers.

Created and delivered by world-class facilitators, our immersive remote training experience will take you and fellow delegates on a journey through grasping the need for Business Agility, creating purpose-driven organisations, developing new ways of thinking and behaviours, and exploit the latest frameworks, tools, and techniques to get you there. You will leave the course fired up and ready to help your organisation to transform. Essential for leaders of today and tomorrow to jump start learning how to thrive in uncertainty and create organisational success.
