Advanced Agendashift: Coaching and Leading Continuous Transformation (Cardiff)

We help leaders and engaged team members at every level to gain fluency in the language of outcomes – developing and pursuing strategies together, innovating, learning, and adapting as the organisation renews and transforms itself from the inside.AgendashiftfounderMike Burrowsis the creator ofLeading with Outcomesand author ofAgendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation(2nd edition 2021),Right to Left: the digital leader’s guide to Lean and Agile(2019, audiobook 2020), and the Lean-Agile classicKanban from the Inside(2014).

Your facilitator will be Mike Burrows, Agendashift founder and author of <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Kanban-Inside-Understand-connect-introduce-ebook/dp/B00O06GXYM/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kanban from the Inside</A> (Blue Hole Press, 2014) and <A HREF="https://leanpub.com/agendashift" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Agendashift</A> (Leanpub, 2017). Prior to his consulting career, Mike was a CTO for a late-stage startup and global Executive Director for a top-tier investment bank.
We – both our company and our rapidly-growing community – are champions and enablers of outcome-oriented change. By building agreement on outcomes we facilitate rapid, experiment-based evolution of process, practice, and organisation. Instead of the contradictory and self-defeating imposition of Lean and Agile practices, Agendashift helps you keep your vision and strategy aligned with and energised by a participatory culture of co‑creation and continuous transformation.
