Agility

The agility module enables employees to react flexibly and in a user-centred manner to complex challenges in their day-to-day work. They learn to understand agile values and principles, develop an agile mindset and apply specific methods and frameworks in a practical way.

By focussing on real examples from administration, agility becomes tangible – and can be used where it creates real added value: in the face of uncertainty, pressure to change and innovation.
