“Agility is not a framework. It’s how your organization thinks, decides, and learns together.”

The one-day workshop on the AO method is designed for HR, Agile Coaches, Org Designers, Scholars, Students, COO, and company leaders

A focused one-day AO workshop can introduce core concepts. It connects them to participants’ roles. Participants can practice using AO on their own organizational challenges.

Core learning goals:

• Understand AO hypothesis and core constructs (structure vs organization, five transitions, five experiences, five work areas).
  
• Apply AO questions (What is your agile? What problem are you solving? How do you organize work?) to real cases.
  
• Sketch an initial AO‑inspired transition picture for their context.
  

Sample agenda

Adapting depth to a mixed audience

• For HR and leaders: emphasize decision rights, people systems, and how AO supports engagement and organic growth.
  
• For coaches and org designers: go deeper into diagnosing transitions and designing multi‑level workshops like the AO process example.
  
• For scholars and students: highlight conceptual lineage, possible research on experience metrics and systemic agility.
