The organizations that stand out most today are those that have transformed the role of HR into that of a coach serving everyone, not just senior management. While this change is certainly not yet the norm today, many organizations are now experimenting with alternative structures, replacing objective-based performance management methods with OKRs (key objectives and results), and old-style bonuses with profit sharing.
This training, which consists of 7 courses is aimed at people who are part of what organizations traditionally call the Human Resources (HR) field. Participants will leave with the knowledge needed to approach new ways of thinking and work with practices to engage more humanistic and values-based people.
Whether you are an Agile coach, manager or HR professional, you need to understand how strategy and operations must evolve when working in an organization that embraces Agile principles and methodologies. How are performance management, recruitment, learning and development, compensation and benefits, and the way we conduct employee engagement surveys changing? What specific competencies do we need to use to execute an Agile transformation? Is there still a need for succession planning in a future Agile organization? These are questions that will obviously be addressed during the training.
Topics covered during the training
- Introduction to Agility and its relationship to Lean and Systems Thinking. Why work with agility?
- What characterizes the agile mindset and how to change traditional HR processes when working with agile values?
- How should HR adapt to create more value in an agile organization?
- What should recruitment, performance appraisals and salary discussions look like?
- What concrete examples are there? How have others succeeded? What works?
- How to use agile techniques such as Scrum and Kanban for HR?
Duration: 6-week cohort: twice a week for 2 hours per session. Each session requires 1 hour of preparation by the participant (videos, readings, exercises).
Target Audience
Agile coaches, consultants, organizational development consultants, change management consultants, HR managers working in organizations taking an agile turn or wanting to learn more about Agile principles and methodologies, managers, operations managers and consulting directors in the private and public sectors.
