Shiftup Business Agility & Innovation Leader (Jurgen Appelo)

The Shiftup Business Agility & Innovation Leader is a two-day workshop that teaches the principles and common practices of Lean-Agile business innovation. It is a combination of facilitator-led instruction, peer discussion, and team exercises. The workshop helps attendees understand how innovation works across the lifecycle of a business, and it makes them aware of their role in the creation and delivery of innovative products and services in continuously changing environments.

What You Will Learn

In two days, you will see that the basic unit for innovation is the strategic business model. You will understand how each business model evolves from exploration and effectiveness to exploitation and efficiency. And you will learn how managers, leaders, designers, and developers need to organize their work differently to create an organization that can reinvent itself continuously and that can scale tremendously.

The Shiftup Business Agility & Innovation Leader workshop teaches participants to apply Lean-Agile thinking to all aspects of business innovation. That's why attendees automatically qualify to become an ICAgile Certified Professional in Business Agility Foundations (ICP-BAF, under consideration).

Audience

Coaches, consultants, team managers, business leaders, product designers, product developers, product managers, project managers, human resource managers.

This is a foundational workshop, meaning that no knowledge or certifications of lean thinking, business agililty or innovation are required. This is not an expert-level course. However, having some experience with new product development and business management (in any role) will make attendance easier.
