An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Applied Leadership Training for Traditional & Agile Projects
Enhance Your Leadership Skills for Success in Both Traditional and Agile Projects
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
The Applied Leadership Training Course for Traditional & Agile Projects introduces participants to how Agile practices can support business change and transformation across diverse project environments. This course explores how Agile can influence organisational shifts by assessing change intensity levels, understanding what accelerates transformation, and recognising where Agile can add measurable value. Through this foundation, participants gain clarity on when Agile is suitable and how to apply it responsibly within real-world contexts.
A key focus of this Applied Leadership Training Course is on leading change at organisational scale. While Agile provides powerful tools and philosophies, its success varies widely depending on industry, team readiness, and organisational dynamics. Not all environments respond positively to Agile adoption, and the course helps leaders distinguish between suitable and unsuitable scenarios through established theories and practical examples.
Participants will explore seven recognised change management theories and learn how these can be applied across different project types. The course also guides leaders on how to recognise best-case use scenarios for Agile, identify potential risks, and interpret indicators that Agile may not be the right approach.
By the end of the EuroMaTech course, participants will understand the core principles of agile leadership and develop essential capabilities for navigating dynamic business environments. They will also begin forming their leadership toolbox, evaluate their own agility as leaders, and assess the readiness of their teams for change.

- Understanding change intensity and its impact on organisational agility
