A focused programme for SCS and G6 leaders on leading agile teams and organisations in government. No prior agile experience required.
About This Programme
A focused programme for SCS and G6 leaders on leading agile teams and organisations in government.
You don’t need to become an agile practitioner. You need to understand enough to lead effectively - sponsor digital services, challenge delivery teams constructively, and make the governance work rather than hinder progress. That’s what this day is about.
What You’ll Learn
- What agile leadership actually means in government - beyond the buzzwords
- Servant leadership - creating the conditions for teams to deliver, rather than directing every decision
- Building high-performing teams - what the evidence says about team effectiveness
- Governance that helps rather than hinders - making boards, assurance, and spending controls work with agile delivery
- Navigating the Government Digital and Data landscape - how the Capability Framework, Service Standard, and profession structures fit together
- Practical exercises and peer discussion - learning from others in similar roles
Who This Programme Is For
Senior civil servants (SCS 1-3), G6 leaders, Deputy Directors, and senior programme or portfolio leaders who are accountable for delivery outcomes but aren’t agile practitioners themselves. No prior agile experience required.
