Agile Leadership for Public Sector Senior Leaders
A one-day agile leadership programme for SCS and G6 civil servants who lead agile teams and organisations in government. No agile experience needed.
About This Programme
This one-day programme is for SCS and G6 leaders who lead agile teams and organisations in government. You don’t need to become an agile practitioner. By the end of the day you’ll understand enough to sponsor digital services, challenge delivery teams constructively and make governance help progress, not hinder it.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of the day you’ll be able to:
- Explain what agile leadership means in government, without the buzzwords
- Practise servant leadership by creating the conditions for teams to deliver, without directing every decision
- Build high-performing teams using the evidence on what makes teams effective
- Make boards, assurance and spending approvals work with agile delivery
- Explain how the Capability Framework, the Service Standard and the profession structures of Government Digital and Data fit together
You’ll work through practical exercises and discuss them with peers in similar roles.
Who This Programme Is For
This programme is for senior civil servants (SCS 1 to 3), G6 leaders, Deputy Directors and senior programme or portfolio leaders who are accountable for delivery outcomes but aren’t agile practitioners themselves. You don’t need any agile experience.
What’s Included
- 7 hours of live virtual training in a small group (max 8)
- Guided peer discussion with other senior leaders
- Digital reference materials
- Certificate of attendance
- Email support for 30 days after the course
