Agility in HR

ICAgile Certified Professional – AgileHR (ICP-AHR) | 5 Online Sessions

During the Agility in HR training, we cover three perspectives:

Individual perspective (YOU)

Knowing yourself and why you do what you do: The Reiss Motivation Profile (RMP) shows your basic needs and motives and contributes to a better understanding of yourself and your leadership.

Developing yourself and understanding biases, mind traps, and how to avoid judging
Communicating effectively using storytelling and visualization are powerful tools.

Coaching others find their perfect place in the organization taking their personality, interests, and passions into account

Team Perspective (WE IN OUR TEAM)

How to increase the pace from immature to mature high-performing teams, using skills for communication, leading, coaching, and conflict resolution

How to grow and develop teams to be independent and empowered to make their own decisions, for example, about their contribution to the organization's goals or their salaries

Organisational perspective (ALL OF US)

How to balance an agile culture with an agile structure, providing enough support for emerging strategies where all people are involved in setting the direction (via OKRs or other kinds of relative targets)

How to work to change behaviors – accomplishing an agile mindset and culture through removing limiting structures like annual budgets linked to fixed performance targets and individual bonuses

Create conditions for a Learning organization where it's ok to make mistakes and learn from them, which requires a platform of Psychological Safety

This training can lead to ICAgile Professional Certifications in Agility in HR (ICP-AHR). Combine Agile People HR with Business Agility Foundations (ICP-BAF) and receive an ICAgile certification for ICP-AHR.

All courses can be taken individually, however for the greatest benefit we recommend this or any other combination of courses that we offer. Please get in touch for more details @ [email protected]
