About today’s release – and save 25%

The great consolidation continues apace! Landing this morning on the newer of the two Agendashift Academy platforms was part I of the latest version of the Inside-out Strategy module. Part I introduces many of our most popular exercises, most notably:

Our trusty, context-capturing kickoff exercise Celebration-5WThe inspiring (and sometimes cathartic) True North: IdealOur Clean Language-inspired coaching game 15-minute FOTOObstacles Fast and Slow, the exercise formerly known as Good Obstacle, Bad Obstacle

The last two of those have received some updates. Standalone materials in premium and Creative Commons incarnations will be published in the coming weeks.

For a taste, here’s the module introduction (08:03):

Introduction to Inside-out Strategy (I): On the same page, with purpose

Once part II Inside-out Strategy (II): Fit for maximum impact is recorded, that leaves only the final module Outside-in Strategy: Positioned for success to be done before the old learning platform can be retired. Quite apart from that steady stream of content updates, that consolidation smooths the onboarding process greatly and reduces the administration burden too.

To get an early advance on that win/win, you can now join just the new platform on its own. It means for a few weeks forgoing the two modules still left behind on the old platform, but saving 25% in perpetuity. If you have an old-style subscription you are more than welcome to take up this offer too, especially if your annual subscriptions is up for renewal soon. Ping me to get your old one cancelled, and over the coming months I will actively reach out to subscribers as their annual or monthly subscriptions approach their anniversary. Watch this space for simplifications to billing arrangements for trainers and facilitators also.

With that business stuff out of the way, what’s changing content-wise?

The old version of Inside-out Strategy did not keep up with significant progress elsewhere. The new version has a much clearer and more productive relationship with the Foundation module and it overlaps less with the other two modules. Nevertheless, part I does nicely introduce Outside-in Strategy, and part II will do the same for Adaptive Organisation. That’s because as well as exploring leadership, organisation, and strategy as all the Leading with Outcomes modules do, an additional function the two parts fulfil is to explain how two families of workshops are constructed, ie those that can usefully be understood as derived from the Discovery and Assessment Debrief workshops respectively.

That is good news in turn for Train-the-Trainer / Facilitator (TTT/F), whose middle two sessions are now Inside-out Strategy parts I and II, both sessions packed with our most popular exercises. The next one of those begins in two weeks:

6-14 February, online, Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons (UK time):
