February Meeting | Cultivate Career Agility, Don’t Fight It

"Agile isn’t just for tech anymore – it’s transforming how organizations hire, develop and manage their people” — Marti Konstant    

The world of work is not evolving. Rather, today’s workplace exists in a state of creative destruction and constant reinvention. This ongoing transformation demands a new outlook for employers and workers alike. 
   
Corporate leadership, middle management, indeed all types of contributors must learn to adapt to this accelerated current of change or find themselves unemployed and unemployable.

Applying an agile mindset to the modern workplace has the potential to deliver a range of benefits, to employers and to workers themselves.    

Career agility and leadership agility encourage collaboration with peers and workers who seek out training and mentoring to bridge project-based knowledge and skills gaps.    

When organizations cultivate agility thinkers within their organization, leaders are more likely to respond to market changes and to foster an environment of learning and growth.

You'll learn:

• ​about the Career Agility Model,
• how to cultivate career agility for individual and workplace needs, and
• about people who have applied agile principles to their careers and their success.
