Shiftup Innovation Leader

For companies that need to change and innovate faster

How can we have something like “a startup culture” in our company?
How can we get new products to become fast-growing scaleups?
How do we reorganize ourselves for optimal execution and innovation?

Most companies are expected to screw up and die within the next two decades. They will be replaced by a new generation of disruptive startups and scaleups except for the organizations that learn how to disrupt themselves.

Starting new teams and scaling up innovation is more critical than ever. The key to success is applying different practices in different stages of the innovation lifecycle. What works for a new business does not work for a mature one, and vice versa.

In this workshop, you will nosedive into the major good practices for business leaders and product teams, from the moment they have an innovative idea to the day they will scale it up (or screw it up). Everything depends on the lifecycle stage of the product or service.

Jurgen Appelo’s “Shiftup Business Agility & Innovation Leader” is a two-day workshop that teaches the principles and common practices of Lean-Agile business innovation.
It is a combination of facilitator-led instruction, peer discussion, and team exercises.

The workshop will help you understand how innovation works across the lifecycle of a business, and it makes them aware of their role in the creation and delivery of innovative products and services in continuously changing environments.

What You Will Learn 

In two days, you will see that the basic unit for innovation is the strategic business model. You will understand how each business model evolves from exploration and effectiveness to exploitation and efficiency. And you will learn how managers, leaders, designers, and developers need to organize their work differently to create an organization that can reinvent itself continuously and that can scale tremendously.

The Shiftup Business Agility & Innovation Leader workshop will teach you how to apply Lean-Agile thinking to all aspects of business innovation.
That’s why you’ll automatically qualify to become an ICAgile Certified Professional in Business Agility Foundations (ICP-BAF, under consideration).

Foundational Course

The aim of this workshop is not to simply review dozens of practices and buzzwords that will be well-known (to some participants).
Instead, the goal is to take a higher perspective and achieve a foundational understanding of how these tools fit into the larger picture of the innovative, evolving company as a family of business models with individual business life cycles.
It is the perfect starting point for organizations aiming to achieve a coherent approach to a startup and scaleup culture within a corporate environment, with an equal emphasis on both disruptive and sustaining innovation.

Expect to get your hands dirty

In this workshop, you will work in small groups to collaboratively complete exercises. You’ll deepen your knowledge by discussing your findings with Jurgen and other participants.
And you’ll play serious games to understand variations and possibilities for applying what they’ve learned in practice.
Jurgen Appelo is available full-time, leading the lectures, questions, and discussions.

Target audience

Coaches, consultants, team managers, business leaders, product designers, product developers, product managers, project managers, human resource managers.

This is a foundational workshop, meaning that no knowledge or certifications of lean thinking, business agility or innovation are required. This is not an expert-level course. However, having some experience with new product development and business management (in any role) will make attendance easier.

After attending, you may qualify to become an ICAgile Certified Professional in Business Agility Foundations (ICP-BAF, under consideration).
More importantly, you will be offered a path toward becoming a Certified Business Agility & Innovation Leader by starting and completing a journey to apply what they’ve learned in their organizations.

Book

The workshop is based on the new book Startup, Scaleup, Screwup (to be published in April 2019) in which author Jurgen Appelo shares his most important findings after having interviewed dozens of people at Spotify, Zalando, Booking, Typeform, TransferWise, Flixbus, iZettle, and many other inspiring companies across Europe.
He also reviewed a ton of literature on what it takes to start with nothing and end with a large, thriving company. Businesses all over the world want more innovation, with happier workers, and at a faster pace.
It is time for them to learn how startups are agile and lean, and how they scale up their businesses.

You will be entitled to a free copy of the new book (after publication) and will receive a signed, exclusive bookplate which can be placed in the book as evidence of participation.
