MBA Atlanta: Agile for executives

Agile transformation is becoming a more popular strategy for businesses. In this situation, management is crucial to success since it will influence whether or not workers believe that working smarter, not harder, is worthwhile.

CLIENT:
Participants in the prestigious MBA-Atlanta programme at the Poznań University of Economics include executives from some of Poland’s largest companies. International participants are also present. There are also participants from abroad. 

Every year, the programme is attended by managers of companies from different continents. This makes it possible to share experiences about managing projects in a multicultural setting.

NEED:
The university reported a need to arrange a Project Management programme for demanding participants with diverse backgrounds. Due to the international nature of the group, simulations, materials and activities are in English. The lectures’ practical focus, which reflected the viewpoint of executives who frequently take part as sponsors or leaders of initiatives, was a crucial component.

SOLUTION:
The program was designed based on a Kolb cycle. First, the group was presented with a challenge without being given any tools or techniques. After that, they had a chance to discuss the findings and were provided ideas, tools, and techniques. The group got the opportunity to attempt the challenge once more during the second iteration while using a system project management approach. The workshop scenario was based on Raven 13 simulation and Agile workshop.
