Learn how Agile HR can help organizations become more responsive, flexible, and successful by becoming an Agile HR Specialist.

In today’s rapidly changing business environments, Human Resource departments are realizing that traditional HR practices are not supporting Agile teams at the demand being placed on them, which is why a profound shift is taking place in how companies manage their people. Consequently, Agile HR Explorer provides learners with the guidance they need to align HR practices with SAFe® transformations and Agile teams, and to bridge this gap between the two.

This one-day course is designed to provide HR professionals and leaders with a high level of understanding of the Agile methodology and its impact on human resources within a Lean-Agile environment. A key objective of Agile HR Explorer is to introduce learners to Agile as a method of transforming organizations into successful, stable, responsive, and dynamic ones in a highly dynamic work environment.

A person who attends this class is prepared to take the exam in order to become a certified Agile HR Explorer once they have completed the course.

Build the foundational knowledge to HR agility.

In today’s world, everything about work, including our expectations, how and where we work, the technology we use, and who we work with, is constantly changing at an accelerated rate. This new world of work requires organizations and Human Resources in particular to be aware of its implications. Unless they do, they will not be able to cope with the different challenges and disruptions that have hit the industry in recent years, such as TalentSumerization, which is the consumerization of human resources.

In order to shape the future HR needs to reinvent itself. It is my goal that you will have a better understanding of the new world of work and how it disrupts and affects HR. All those topics will be covered during this one-day extensive course.

In spite of the fact that over 70% of digital transformations fail, industry leaders will tell you that you should be careful about who teaches your Agile HR Explorer course! During my time as SPCT and as a Human Resources Department leader, I have had the opportunity to be in the trenches implementing Scaled Agile Framework with proven success in overcoming transformation challenges. I also know what pitfalls to look out for. The goal of this course is to provide you with a clear understanding of how you can implement SAFe into your HR function through the use of my experience and real-world stories, and I would like to invite you to share and analyze your unique context as well.

I look forward to assisting you on your journey towards a strong foundation in the Agile HR Framework that will ensure the success of your Human Resources Department for years to come!
