Traditional management originates from the 2nd Industrial Revolution (mass production) and was developed for managing a manual worker doing a highly repetitive and predictable work. It’s a perfect solution when the requirements are static and predictability is high. Those are not the characteristics of the world we live in now. In the present, challenging environments, Leaders must be able to adapt to rapidly emerging new circumstances.
The Agile mindset welcomes and enables change and harnesses the opportunities a rapidly changing environment can offer. Agile focuses on the empirical process where organizations can sense & respond to emerging difficulties, while exploring the possibilities. This course will provide you with a solid understanding of the concepts and values of Agile.
