Requirements

Description
This course describes how I improved my agile coaching by reading Reinventing Organizations by Frederic Laloux.
In this course you will learn:
- The stages of organizational development
- What coaching tools you can use for each stage of organizational development
- How I introduce the Laloux model to companies
The course will take approximately two weeks to complete if you do all of the exercises.
The course is divided into three main sections:
- An introduction in which I summarize the stages of organizational development
- A description of the coaching tools I use for red, amber, orange, green, and teal organizations
- An example of how I introduce the Laloux model to organizations
This course is hard! It is not for beginners. I expect you to be an advanced Scrum Master and to have read the first 100 pages of Reinventing Organizations. The course does not provide a cookie cutter approach or a list of step-by-step instructions. Instead, it challenges you to integrate the learning into your own coaching practice. If you decide to take this course, be prepared to work hard. You should take this course only if you want to take advantage of the insights that I have gleaned about coaching from reading Reinventing Organizations.
Who this course is for:
- This course is appropriate for advanced Scrum Masters or agile coaches who have read the first 100 pages of "Reinventing Organizations"
- This course is NOT appropriate for those who are new to agile or those who want to be spoonfed step-by-step instructions
Instructor
I’m committed to helping my students learn not just what to do as a Scrum/Agile professional but, more importantly, the nitty-gritty details of how to do it.
My students build their skills and their confidence to apply those skills in real-world settings.
My own real-world experience includes founder roles, corporate strategy roles, and for the last 10+ years, being an Agile/Scrum coach and trainer. I know there’s a gap between the knowledge you learn in a certification course and the tools you need to bring that knowledge to life in an organization. It’s my privilege to help my students to bridge that gap.
