Certified Agile Leadership - Organizations (CAL-O)

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. We’ll dive into case studies and real-life examples to help demonstrate how Agility can be implemented successfully in your organization and you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the relationship between culture and leadership mindset and behaviors.

What the participants said about Miljan's Course:

"This is one of the best courses I took. The topics were well organized and thought through. The entire setting was very interesting and engaging. As a participant, I just could not stand aside and not participate in the multiple discussions that the group had because of the way how the topics were discussed. Miljan was successfully facilitating the discussion and helping us understand those topics that the group had questions about. Because of the homework assignments most of the time I was engaged in the research and completing assignments which helped me understand and learn the topics better."

“The way this class was delivered is excellent and different from all of my previous training from various trainers. Learned a lot from the discussion, articles, videos and to-dos. Miljan's experience and global exposure helped a lot in delivering the content of this course in an effective way.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed class. Class material was insightful and content very well organized. Miljan brought very much to the table with regards to his experience, his mindset, and his enthusiasm. Best virtual/online course I have taken, and not just including those in the agile space.”

“Good class, lots of great material that can be leveraged as I go forward in my professional career. Miljan's class is an open environment and fosters good discussions across participants.”
