In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, change is not merely an event but an ongoing reality. How organisations navigate, internalise, and evolve with this reality often determines their long-term viability and success. This course "Mastering Agile Leadership" is purposefully crafted for leaders and professionals, equipping them to not just manage but champion change in a manner that's both sustainable and transformational.

Organisations often focus on the tangible facets of change – new systems, redefined processes, or restructured teams. However, the real essence and success of organisational transformation hinge on its leadership's ability to influence, engage, and convince other people. But what does it truly mean to be an agile leader?

It means comprehending that change isn't always about the next milestone but is about continuously adapting to an ever-fluctuating environment. It's about recognising the profound impact that change initiatives can have on an organisation's fabric, from its strategies down to its daily operations. This course delves deep into the nuances of how leaders can approach transformation with foresight and strategy, ensuring all elements align cohesively for successful outcomes.

Mark Buchan

Agile Transformation Specialist & Author, Agile Leader Ltd

Mark is a seasoned Change Agent and Agile trouble-shooter, with over 20 years’ experience in delivering transformative change and helping turn around failing Agile Transformations. Mark combines his technical background with extensive knowledge of organisational development and psychology, to provide a unique and innovative approach to Agile Transformation.

Mark also helped develop the Agile Business Consortium's "Nine Principles of Agile Leadership" (2017).

Drawing on all Mark's years working in the Agile space, he launched his first book (May 2019): “Leader’s, it’s not how you finish but how you start: A radical new strategy for successful Agile Transformations revealed”. In it, Mark identifies the five mistakes that are common in EVERY failing transformation and he explains what needs to be done to create “Genuine Agile Transformation”. Instead of following prescriptions and recipes, and the conventional approach to Agile Transformations provided by large consulting houses, Mark suggests following a radical, new strategy that is genuinely tailored to the individual organisation.
