Learn how to maximise customer value quickly, consistently and sustainably.

businessagility.works® Foundations

The businessagility.works® Foundations certification and supporting online course support the learning requirements of individuals and organizations who want to utilise business agility practices to maximise customer-value quickly, consistently, and sustainably.

The course and certification are underpinned by the businessagility.works® Framework, a customer-centric, agile operating framework that enables an organisation to sense, respond and adapt to rapidly-evolving customer needs.

The framework was purpose-built to address the market and internal challenges organisations face, when attempting to utilise business agility for competitive advantage and aligns the three key operating domains of an Agile business:

BUSINESS AGILITY = Customer Agility + Team Agility + Leadership Agility

At the Foundations level, participants will align their understanding on the history, evolution and value of business agility, their role as an Enabler, and how to implement the businessagility.works framework.

Future intermediate courses will focus on executing Enabler-specific Agile Value Stream practices.
