Organizing for Business Agility ICP ORG (ICAgile Accredited) - July 2022

Organizations are facing increasing challenges, both in number and complexity. Many struggle to adapt to the changing needs of the market and maintain a competitive advantage.

What is needed are organizations that can flex and adapt to the shifting needs of their customers.

If we have even more complex environments, what kind of organizations will thrive?

And, What kind of organizational structures will we need to support those organizations?

If any of the following organizational challenges are familiar, then this course is for you:

1. Teams are difficult to motivate.
2. You know what your customers want, but you can’t get it to them.
3. Lots of hand-offs between groups of people.
4. Dispersed bodies of work, and you aren’t sure what to do next.
5. Your organisation and people lack inspiration.
6. Innovation is scarce.
7. People in the organization struggle to make the right decisions.
8. Current practices and systems are rigid and unfit for purpose - a transformation is needed, but how?
