  What This Course Is About

  Finding the problem is not the hard part. The hard part is knowing what to do about it.

  Most Agile coaches can describe what's wrong. They can feel the resistance, name the friction, and point to where things slow down. What's harder is understanding why the organization is built that way, what's holding the structure in place, and what a well-designed response actually looks like.

  This course moves you from observation to action. You'll apply systems thinking to organizational assessment, work through three foundational models of change, and design adaptive interventions that account for culture, structure, and resistance, not as abstract concepts, but as forces you can analyze and work with.

  One distinction worth naming: growth and organizational development are not the same thing. This course treats that difference seriously.

  Who This Is For

  Agile coaches and Scrum Masters who are already working at an organizational level and want sharper tools for diagnosing misalignment and designing change.

  If you've ever surfaced a systemic problem and wondered what to do next, this course starts there.

  Consider This

  Consider taking Optimizing Value Streams first. Enterprise Agility works best when you're bringing real observations to it, not hypothetical ones. Optimizing Value Streams teaches you to read a value stream, surface wait time, handoffs, and friction points, and name what you're seeing clearly enough that others can act. Taking it first means you arrive at Enterprise Agility with findings already in hand.

Your Instructor

Joel Bancroft-Connors, CST® | CTC® | PMP | PMI-ACP The Gorilla Coach, LLC Joel has spent years inside large organizations watching the same pattern repeat. A team improves. The organization around them doesn't. The friction comes back. This course is built around the question that pattern creates: why does the system resist change, and what do you actually do about it? As a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST®) and Certified Team Coach (CTC®), Joel contributed to the design and review of the advanced coaching program this course belongs to. He spent over a decade as a project and program manager at VMware, Symantec, EMC, and Hitachi, which means he understands organizational culture and structure from the inside, not just as concepts to coach around. He's not teaching theory. He's teaching what he's had to learn the hard way about why organizations are built the way they are. 4.92/5 on Trustpilot | 2,000+ professionals trained | Clients include BMW, Stanford, Visa, State and Federal Agencies in the US and Canada.

Consider taking Optimizing Value Streams first.

Enterprise Agility is about changing the system. That work lands differently when you're bringing real observations to it, not hypothetical ones. Optimizing Value Streams teaches you to read a value stream, surface where value is lost, and name what you're seeing clearly enough that others can act. One course builds the diagnostic skill. The other gives you somewhere to take it.

Optimizing Value Streams is scheduled for June 8th.
