Organisational Agility Best Practice: AgileSHIFT®

AgileSHIFT Training

What is AgileSHIFT?

AgileSHIFT is the latest best practice guidance from AXELOS which is focussed on helping organisations to enable digital transformation. A significant part of this is providing guidance on how organisations should embrace a culture of enterprise agility in order to build resilience to disruption and deliver value to clients.

Piloted with Tanner James in Canberra before its official launch, the new solution offers organisations a framework by which to begin to shift its culture to embrace and enable agile ways of working.

It covers;

  • Why everyone needs to accept change and uncertainty;
    • Teaches the context for organisational transformation
    • Understanding why you need be comfortable with change
    • Feel that you can work effectively in an ever-changing environment
  • Understand what agile is and how it works;
    • Why teams and organisations are adopting agile ways of working
    • Understand the difference between agile techniques and organisational agility
    • Why it can fail and most importantly, how it can succeed
  • Provides an agile framework that works for the whole organisation;
    • Principles and practices that provide a simple rulebook to help embrace a culture of enterprise agility
    • An out of the box agile method for use by any team.

The framework has been designed to be tailored to any organisation wishing to embark on a digital transformation journey, supporting the whole organisation to think and act in an agile way, as well as support other agile delivery approaches. It is supported by a guide, accredited training and certification.

Given the nature of the product, Tanner James will only offer in-house training courses for AgileSHIFT, and would strongly recommend additional coaching and consulting to help embed the learnings from the framework into your department.

Further information

The new solution can be used by any organisation or department seeking to transform the way in which they operate. Transformation, although necessary, is also hard. That is why Tanner James’ experienced coach’s can support your organisation’s change journey and help build the internal capability that you require in order to thrive.

A frequent problem with many transformation efforts is the creation of isolated agile delivery teams unsupported by a wider organisational engagement initiative. These agile delivery teams need to interact with other business functions including: Finance, HR, Operations, Sales & Marketing and Legal. Often, these teams do not know why an agile approach is being used, the benefits associated with it or how best to enable that way of working. Plus, their traditional working processes are not set up to support agile. This is where current approaches to digital transformation are struggling.

AgileSHIFT has been designed to be used by the entire organisation, regardless of role, function or seniority. Through enabling the whole organisation to learn and understand the value and benefits of agility and where and how it should be adopted, the organisation can begin to transform.

AgileSHIFT has only one certification level, that of Foundation.

Foundation is typically offered as a 2-day course and is only offered as an in-house delivery by Tanner James, given the nature of the solution.

The Foundation exam is comprised of:

  • 33 multiple choice questions per paper
  • 20 marks required (out of 33 available) to pass: approximately 60%
  • 45 minutes duration
  • Closed book.
