Core Agendashift: Learning The Language of Outcomes

Credential Earned: OLN-ASHIFT-CORE1 (Core Agendashift Level 1)

Course Overview

Leading change in the 21st century? You need a 21st century engagement model:

  • Based not on the imposition of prescribed solutions but around authentic agreement on outcomes
  • Not linear and plan-based, but emergent, humane, and complexity-conscious
  • Not just one-off projects, but the beginning of new conversations and new kinds of conversation
  • Not proprietary, but open and framework-agnostic – built by and for a welcoming community of experienced practitioners working at the exciting intersection of Lean-Agile, Strategy, and Organisation Development

The Core workshop ‘Facilitating outcome-oriented change’ provides a quick, single-day pass through the Agendashift engagement model.
