Leadercamp on-demand: Agile and Agility
"Agile" has revolutionized the way we work - in the form of new mindsets, organizational structures, management approaches, and delivery frameworks. With the high adoption rate by both software and non-software organizations and two decades of experience, Agile has resulted in quite a few variations and branches. These phenomena may be good news if it offers better options for a given context. The reality is that the many Agile options often cause confusion, especially to those new to the Agile world. In this course, freelance Agile Coach and Transformation Leader, Bruce Schoor will help clarify the Agile landscape, allowing you to design the path and capabilities that fit your needs.

Leadercamp on-demand: Becoming Customer-Centric with Design Thinking
When products or work initiatives or companies fail, it's rarely because of the ability of the people working on the problem. Rather, it's because smart people worked hard and found that when they were done…that they had been working on the wrong problem. They created something their customers didn't need, and all that brain power and effort was wasted. Design thinking is a methodology used by the most customer-centric companies in the world, companies like Apple, Amazon, IDEO, OXO. It helps you to discover the problems your customers actually face and create solutions rapidly that actually solve them. As an HR and Talent veteran of 17 years and a design thinking coach at Stanford, Randal Vegter puts his expertise to work in this Leadercamp to simplify design thinking and help you apply it to your most pressing issues. Join Randal Vegter, Skillsoft's Vice President of Talent Enablement & Culture, for a fun and interactive session that will give you a new and exciting frame to view your work.
