Training description:

What is the Lean Change Management™ training?

As innovation and market disruption continue to increase, more and more organizations are looking for ways to change faster to stay competitive. Many of these organizations are looking towards Agile Management to achieve this, but most often use outdated change management methods that are not adapted to dynamic change.

This accredited training program (ICAgile ICP-CAT) aims to show how to use the Agile and Lean approach not (only) to develop products/services, but to facilitate organizational transformations. Lean Change Management™ is a modern framework that uses the ideas of Lean Startup, Agile, Lean and Kotter's model to help you adaptively manage change.

Change Agents are extraordinary people with an entrepreneurial heart, visionary mind and courage necessary to undermine the status quo for the benefit of the entire organization.

Discover engaging practices and lightweight tools for planning/improving change and learn to lead a group of change agents. As a result the change will reinforce and will be propagated by coworkers.

Who is behind this?

Jason Little jis an expert in managing organization change, his approach was described in a book published in 2014 entitled Lean Change Management™. On the basis of the book, a training and consulting program emerged, followed by a global movement related to the new reflection and approach to change management.

Every day, more than 50 facilitators around the world contribute to the development of modern change management by organizing practical trainings that offer games, simple tools and best practices. Thanks to them, participants gain new skills that they can easily use to increase the success of radical organizational changes and engage people to achieve shared responsibility for their success.
