A comprehensive programme on leadership, culture, transformation, and holistic agility

Holistic Agility has been a pioneer of short-session online learning since early 2020. Shorter sessions improve retention of learning, fit more easily into busy schedules, and lead to better results back in the workplace.

Part 1 comprises four half-day sessions, with time to integrate and practice between sessions

Course Philosophy

Coaching, integrated with an understanding of complex adaptive systems, behavioural science and a deep understanding of agility, reveal a radical clarity that makes effective leadership rapidly achievable.

Here’s what leaders are saying after participating in Stuart’s CAL course:

J. Dutta

“A very deep and introspective learning session on agile leadership. The group of learners, who are already well aware of transformation contexts, agile basics, enterprise challenges and have been responsible for large org influencing programs to show results, will gain tremendously. They will know how to work on their own self, post the CAL I course.”

J. Dutta — Sr Unit Quality Head

R. Roach

“Stuart’s passion will give you critical insights into the underlying, non obvious, issues as well as techniques you can use to immediately increase the odds that your organisation’s journey to becoming agile is a successful one.”

R. Roach — CIO

J. Fortuin

“Stuart’s CAL training fuelled me with valuable new views on Agile, Scrum and the way I could improve the impact of departments and teams in our organisation.”

J. Fortuin — Transformation Coach
