Beyond Agile Training

5 online training sessions, an exam and a graduation dinner

Everybody is welcome.

(Training in English)

Earlier this year, Pointury organised a round table on the Balanced Management Model, described by one of the participants as the best round table ever attended. Pointury & Balanced Management are now organising a “Balanced Management Model” training (5 online lessons), followed by a certification assessment and a graduation dinner.

The course will be given by Ruben Smolders, Platform & Integration Tribe Lead at the HR & Payroll provider SD Worx, founder of the Balanced Management model. The model tackles the shortcomings and pitfalls of recent agile transformations, increases the efficiency, effectiveness and engagement of software development tribes and is an excellent answer to the new challenges of remote and parttime work. The rapid scaling of the mysdworx platform across Europe is a recent striking example of the success of the model.

Here is a short description of the five levers of the Balanced model.

  • Balanced Process Management: the OKR framework seamlessly encapsulates agile sprints into quarterly increments and long-term Objectives & Key Results
  • Balanced Organisation Management: a straightforward org chart, solving the vague&virtual “roles” in agile models
  • Balanced Technology Management: process that manages the right balance between nurturing and scaling innovations in autonomous teams and managing architecture and stability
  • Balanced People Management: discover the world of Balanced T-shaping and balanced reward management from striking parallels between software teams and football teams
  • Balanced Neuro-leadership as the most effective way to truly engage employees, whether they are in the office or at home.
