** COVID 19 INFORMATION **

This workshop is being planned as an in-person event in Toronto, Ontario Canada. A venue will be chosen by the end of August 2021. If you are planning to travel to Toronto, do not book your flight and accommodations until the in-person event is confirmed. Odds are everything will be open and safe, but you never know!

If for any reason it's un-SAFe to run the course in-person, it will be delivered online instead.

Sometimes as change agents, we forget that organizations are social systems. While our brains desperately want change to follow a linear and standardized progression, we know complex organizational change never has, and will never, work that way.

Enterprise Transformation with Lean Change Management is a 3-day IC Agile accredited workshop designed to help you create a context-dependant and feedback-driven approach to transformation.

In this workshop, we’ll explore:

• How organizational systems enhance and hinder agility
• How to influence change directly and indirectly
• How to swim with the organizational currents towards positive change, and how to know when to swim against them
• Why diverse culture and leadership styles create the natural and positive friction that moves transformations forward
• The delicate dance between structure and culture
• Visual facilitation techniques and a variety of Lean Change Management tools, ideas and practices
