More information

ORGANIC agility® provides a new leadership approach, models for cultural change and insights into complexity thinking. It addresses topics that are important to every leader in any organization. 

The ORGANIC Leadership® framework helps grow leadership as an organizational capability, rather than personal development of few leaders. This requires everyone to learn how to lead and develop the necessary skills. Thus anyone who is part of a complex project will enjoy learning the foundational elements of ORGANIC agility leadership.

To grow leadership capabilities, we need to start building the ability, in ourselves and others, to see the connections between what we do and the effect that these actions have on our organizational culture, our environment and ourselves as leaders. Becoming a true Strategic Leader will allow you to focus on what matters and equip you to lead a resilient organization.

This course will help you demonstrate proficient comprehension of ORGANIC agility and its core elements.
