## **Overview**

This in-person, 2-day course is optimized for up to 18 people combining team-based exercises and instructor led tutorials. Participants will explore concepts and techniques they can apply immediately in their day-to-day activities that complement the common organizational change management frameworks.

Managing change is an art. Organizational change frameworks are not a silver bullet and they often require complementary tools and techniques. Frameworks like ADKAR, 7-S, Kotter, and Lewin, are useful models — each with pros and cons. Those strategies need to be supplemented with complementary tools and techniques to enhance their effectiveness. Agents of change must be equipped with experiences and strategies to artfully manage themselves and their context as they support new initiatives.

This course material is aligned with Agile practices. The values and principles of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development demonstrate the importance of:

- Transparency: Making information accessible and timely.
- Inspection: Understanding the current context.
- Adaptation: Making decisions and taking actions based on what is known.

Those pillars of empiricism support change initiatives and encourage a mindset of experimentation, courage, and respect for individuals and their circumstances.
