About The Course – (Agility in HR)

In the future of work, HR and Managers will need to take an Coaches’ role, with the necessary competence in basic human needs, behaviors, teamwork, and how to support an emerging strategy towards the organization’s purpose.

Alternative career for traditional managers and HR professionals will require them to have deeper People’s perspective, in addition to having the basic understanding of agile values, agile tools and methods, systems theory, and organizations are the same. During this training, you will learn how to coach people to find a place where they can be the best they can be and create conditions for people to perform together.

Target Audience

This course is for HR professionals at all levels who want to deliver an attractive Employee Experience and transform their practice into agile working methods.  

It will give insight into how HR supports the organisation to attract, develop and retain people, learn about the paradigm shifts necessary to lead in adaptive environments and contribute to creating a high-performing culture.

It is also for Management Consultants, Change managers, or Agile Coaches, who want to support HR and organizations in implementing more flexible, adaptable, and attractive people processes.

Program Content

Session B1-5 Business Agility Foundations

Session B1: The Need for Business Agility

In today’s Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) environment, business agility is more and more critical for success. New values and principles and self-organizing teams with the right mix of cognitively diverse people close to the customer experience and empowered to make decisions are the new competitive edge.

Session B2: Emergent Strategy and Value Creation

Aligning teams around a vital purpose and generating a vision is essential to providing inspiration and creating high performance. In addition, it’s imperative to empathize with customers to maximize customer value and make it visible to focus on value creation.

Session B3: Framework, Tools and Techniques

Agile is about adapting to change. You adapt to the customers’ changing needs and work according to priorities to deliver the most significant value for the customer first. Using a Lean StartUp approach, you can test your hypothesis with a Minimum Viable Product. Using Scrum, Kanban, Value Stream Mapping in the whole company is not different from using it for Software development. What are examples, and how can you design your processes using the agile ways of working?

Session B4: New Ways of thinking and Behaving

The ability to recognize and understand complex adaptive system dynamics accelerates the path towards Business Agility. It is not only our organization’s dynamics that we should understand and manage with “Polarity Management” and “Cynefin Decision Making Model”; but also our thinking & behaving patterns by the concept of the “Ladder of Inference.”

Session B5: Business Agility as the New Normal

In today’s fast-moving and complex environments, we need to be more responsive and adaptable to navigate the complexity. To do that, we need to:

• Understand how to make sense of business challenges when things keep changing
• Be able to make decisions and act when we don’t have all the information we feel we need
• Create the conditions to allow the right culture to grow for everyone to perform at their best. In this session, we will recap the impact on business.

Session H1-5 Agile People HR

Session H1: How HR’s role is changing when we need to increase Business Agility

Design the talent/people elements needed to help support an Agile transition in an organisation and explain how different contexts can influence the approach to be taken. Job titles, competency profiles, titles, career, succession – how do we do it in an agile organisation? User stories for HR and a T-shaped HR-person. Employee Journey mapping – pain points. Examples and cases.

Session H2: How HR can use tools and practices from Agile.

Using Scrum, Kanban, Value Stream Mapping, and OKRs for HR is not so different from using it for Software development. What are examples, and how can you design talent/people processes using the agile ways of working? User stories for HR – what do they look like? Examples and cases of Agile HR in reality.

Session H3: Goals, Performance Management, Compensation and Benefits

Appraise current performance management practices and identify ways of bringing Agile thinking to enhance performance, accountability, and growth. 95/5 Exercise. Describe and contrast traditional incentive structures with Agile-friendly structures, discuss the pros and cons of each approach, and explain how you could apply them to your own environment.

Session H4: Talent Acquisition and onboarding

Design a sourcing strategy that can be used to find and acquire the “right” people to support the strategic growth of the organisation taking values, culture, diversity, and collaboration into the hiring decision. Design an onboarding experience that enables new employees to become a part of the organisation rapidly and smoothly.

Session H5: Learning, Development and Employee Engagement

Suggest ways to enable and support a learning mindset in a team, supporting the shift from a focus on deficiencies to a focus on the development of new skills and capabilities. Recommend different motivational tools to be applied in a context and describe how the traditional employee engagement survey is changing.
