Appointed to move organisations forward
The benefits of agility are now well known and accepted in business. But few companies know how to transform their organisation most effectively. How they can support teams in innovation or transformation projects in a meaningful way. Currently, there are far too few experienced agile coaches on the market who are available as sparring partners for both teams and management.
This is where you come in. As an Agile Coach, you are a multiplier of a new working world. You are available to employees for questions about agile working. You help teams to develop innovations and the management to take sensible steps in the development of an agile organisation. Our training as an agile coach lets you dive deep into the agile world. You will learn all relevant methods, techniques and processes in a practice-oriented way. You will learn how agile working methods can be implemented in companies and how you can successfully create agile communities in companies. In this Agile Coach training, you will learn concepts and methods with which you can successfully accompany and implement your own innovation, transformation and change projects in your company.
