Welcome to this course on agile mindset! We’re excited to help you start your journey and know this course will benefit you and your team, no matter what you do. Now let’s see what lies ahead of you!

Meet Your Teacher

Hi. I'm Neil Perkin and I'm the founder of Only Dead Fish, a digital consultancy that specialises in applying strategic understanding of digital and emerging technologies to help businesses innovate, become more agile, and optimise their effectiveness within the new, networked communications environment. I'm the author of two books: Building The Agile Business and Agile Transformation and a regular keynote speaker on digital transformation, organisational agility, content strategy, emerging media, and digital strategy. I spend my time helping organisations and leadership teams adapt their ways of working to become more fit-for-purpose for a rapidly changing world.

Understand the Course Structure

The course consists of two parts, each broken down into several chapters. You’ll check your knowledge by taking the quiz at the end of each part.

Part I is dedicated to discovering the benefits of an agile mindset for your workplace. You will:

  • Learn about modern workplace challenges and how to address them.

  • Get familiar with the Agile Manifesto.

  • Discover how an agile team works.

  • Get into the agile mindset. 

Part II explores implementing agile values in your work practice. You will learn and practice it in four steps, each of which corresponds to a value from the Agile Manifesto (no worries, you’ll find out what it is later):

  • Create the climate for growth and collaboration. 

  • Adopt a customer-back way of thinking and working.

  • Prioritize outcomes over outputs.

  • Stay agile. 

Practical Work

So how will I practice what I learn in this course?

This course is very hands-on!

  • Throughout the chapters, you will see many real-life examples of agile companies. 

  • You will also practice implementing agile values using real and fictional case studies in the Your Turn sections of the course chapters. 

  • If you’re ready to foster a team agile mindset, we invite you to complete log book exercises, an excellent resource to reflect on your workplace practices and improve them.

Now that you know what to expect, let’s get to learning. See you in the first chapter about the modern workplace challenges!
