Foundational Course

The aim of this workshop is not to simply review dozens of practices and buzzwords that will be well-known (to some participants). Instead, the goal is to take a higher perspective and achieve a foundational understanding of how all these tools fit into the larger picture of the innovative, evolving company as a family of business models with individual business life cycles. It is the perfect starting point for organizations aiming to achieve a coherent approach to a startup and scaleup culture within a corporate environment, with an equal emphasis on both disruptive and sustaining innovation.

Format

In this workshop, participants will work in small groups to collaboratively complete exercises. They deepen their knowledge by discussing their findings with the instructor and their peers. And they play serious games to understand variations and possibilities for applying what they’ve learned in practice. The instructor is available full-time, leading the lectures, questions, and discussions.

Materials

The workshop makes use of digital materials offered through an app on smartphones and tablets (Android only, for now). Attendees are suggested to bring their own, but some extra devices will be available for shared usage. Additionally, the instructor will bring some physical, printed materials to support the discussions, games, and exercises.

Time

The workshop has an intense time-sensitive schedule! Both days of the workshop start at exactly 9:00 and they end at exactly 17:00. There is a one-hour break for lunch, and there will be short coffee and rest breaks as desired.

Class Size

We limit the class size to 25 people.

Open Workshop

At this time, we only offer this workshop as an open class. Later in 2019, it will be possible to get this same workshop on site and as an in-company training.

Prerequisites

This workshop is not a beginner’s course for people who just finished their studies. We recommend some familiarity or experience with product design, product development, team management, business consulting, agile transformation, and organizational change.

Language

The training is given in English. All training materials are also in English.

Book

The workshop is based on the new book Startup, Scaleup, Screwup (to be published in April 2019) in which author Jurgen Appelo shares his most important findings after having interviewed dozens of people at Spotify, Zalando, Booking, Typeform, TransferWise, Flixbus, iZettle, and many other inspiring companies across Europe. He also reviewed a ton of literature on what it takes to start with nothing and end with a large, thriving company. Businesses all over the world want more innovation, with happier workers, and at a faster pace. It is time for them to learn how startups are agile and lean, and how they scale up their businesses.

Participants are entitled to a free copy of the new book (after publication) and will receive a signed, exclusive bookplate which can be placed in the book as evidence of participation.

Certification

There is no test, exam or formal certification for this workshop! After attending, participants may qualify to become an ICAgile Certified Professional in Business Agility Foundations (ICP-BAF, under consideration). More importantly, they will be offered a path toward becoming a Certified Business Agility & Innovation Leader by starting and completing a journey to apply what they’ve learned in their organizations. This will be a certificate based on actual work experience, not workshop attendance! Participants will earn that certificate when their journey is completed (with a time limit of one year after the workshop).

Instructor

Jurgen Appelo is the Founder/CEO of startup Agility Scales, the author of Management 3.0 and Managing for Happiness, and quite familiar with all the latest trends. He was once Entrepreneur of the Year in The Netherlands. He completed over EUR 1M of investments for his new company, and he is the founder of two other businesses, both of which are profitable. Jurgen was named Europe’s nr 1 Leadership Author (see ranking on Inc.com).
