Agile Leadership 

Develop collaboration and self organisation

The course​

​

In this training course you will learn about the approach of agile management. Through the integration of agile collaboration in your organization, you will be able to break down large and complex projects into manageable tasks. By using agile collaboration and respective self-organization methods, you and your organization will be ready to conquer the new work environments. The crisis around Covid-19 has shown us that it has been agile and flexible organisations that have created very effective, impactful and innovative outcomes.

​

This course will deepen your understanding of management, as agile management differs fundamentally from other management approaches. Agility is based on the image that sees the individual as the best expert for her-/himself, who acts on own responsibility and treats others with respect on an equal footing. This results in great trust in the self-organization power of the team.

Testimonial

“It was a brilliant opportunity, and I reflected and learned a lot during the course. It includes the balance of the international and external situations and coherence between the mandate and field practices. As a result, it contributed to the shift of Save Cambodia’s Wildlife towards developing its “Social Entrepreneurship Strategy” and a sustainable role in contributing to the protection of forest and wildlife habitat in Cambodia.”
