HOW IT WORKS

Deliverable as a two day face to face interactive workshop or a remote learning experience over a longer period. We deliver to both public and private in-house settings. We can also arrange so very interesting venues to make it even more engaging! Basically we provide the agility to fit around your needs not ours.

OUR TRAINERS

This is what sets us apart. Each session is led by our very experienced facilitators who have decades of real world skin in the game. They all are qualified trainers (Cert IV Training), and coaches (ORSC, ICAgile) in their own right and bring a wealth of stories and knowledge to enrich the days.

WHY NOW?

The world was already going through unprecedented disruption before the pandemic. That change is still accelerating. There are so many different approaches, tools and solutions out there it can be overwhelming to even start. This training can help bring you and your team together to face the challenges ahead

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

It is for individuals, teams and organisations interested in the paradigm shifts necessary to enable organizational agility. If you are just starting out on your career or you are a seasoned professional this course will give you real value, tools and insights to face the future. This is designed for business and technical teams (and everything inbetween). The jargon is kept to a minimum

THIS TRAINING IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

you want the latest relevant techniques and methods
you want to learn in a pragmatic and enjoyable manner
you prefer the jargon kept to a minimum
you want engaging and experienced instructors

THIS WORKSHOP IS NOT RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

you think that nothing has really changed
you have low trust in the experiences of others
you think that people cannot learn new methods
you think disruption has reached its peak

SUSTAINABLE TRAINING

Within all the hardship we have faced in recent times we believe there are still some positives that we can take from our experience. From the beginning, before COVID, we built PoP to be a sustainable company, fully carbon neutral and as sustainable as we could make it. To that end we commit to planting a dozen trees for every workshop or training series we run in order to offset the impact we may make.
