What our clients say

The course helped me think about how the topics play out in the workplace and kicked off critical discussions with colleagues.

The Agile Change Leadership Certificate course was really valuable and delivered by two experts in the field of change and agility. I now have an in-depth understanding of Agile and Change Leadership and the confidence to apply it

I went through the Agile Change Manager training and appreciated the consistent correlation to Agile practices and self-paced, easy to consume modules.

Just completed the most recent course offering, The Agile Mindset, another treasure trove of practical real life examples, resources and great story telling to develop an agile mindset.

If you are looking for an immersive, practical learning experience for your Team you can’t go past these courses ( and books and resources). There’s something for all levels, and everyone on, or involved in a Change journey will benefit from attending. Highly practical, adaptable resources that fit with agile methodologies beautifully. Add in fantastic, experienced and accessible Coaches – and you have a great recipe for valuable professional development that you can put to work straight away. Highly recommend.

Incredibly insightful learning experience. With decades of experience and know-how, the coaches were excellent guides throughout my introspective journey in reexamining my leadership style. The learning content were diverse, engaging and thought-provoking. I would highly recommend ACLI for any aspiring individuals who wants to be an adaptive leader.

Brilliant! I learnt new skills and ideas, in an easily consumable course. Highly recommend. Practical, engaging, and continuously evolving agile leadership training. Expert coaches who go above and beyond to impart their many decades of knowledge and experiences. Learning continues beyond the training course with communities, books, and coaching. Highly recommend the Agile Change Leadership Institute as the only place to ‘get agile’.

Truly an amazing course that is filled with immense insight on how to build and lead an agile organisation. The content and experiments in the course has enabled me to sit and reflect on my own leadership skills, mindset and capabilities with an open mind and curiosity. The course provides tools, techniques and ideas and hacks for people who are involved in Agile change. The course does give the science of change management in simple terms and in a fun way too. A recommended course for people who are keen to learn more on how to lead/manage/work in an agile organisation.

I recently completed the Agile Change Manager certification course, and found it to be fantastic! A great combination of theory, practical examples, take-away tools and inspiring stories. The course itself took me about a full day to complete, but looking forward to spending time going through all of the additional resources and coming back to the content throughout the year as I start to apply it to my change projects. I recommend this course to experience Change Managers looking to branch into Agile projects.

I am so grateful to have found the Agile Change Leadership Institute. I have completed two of their offerings thus far, and have found them both to be immensely thought provoking, immediately applicable, and of exceptional quality. I really value all of the “extras” that they provide with every course. Their courses are perfect just-in-time learning for those who are moving to an agile environment or those who simply need a soul-boosting refresh of their current skillset.

Relevant, flexible, content rich, informative and an enjoyable learning experience! ‘Staying ahead of the curve’ must for both personal and professional development. Valuable resources and experiments I can put into practice and continue the learning experience. I highly recommend.

I did the Agile Mindset online course. It was fun and easy to consume with helpful links and resources. The presenters are easy to listen to.

I completed the Agile Change Manager Certificate Course. I recommend this course to people who are beginning their change journey as well as to people who are experienced change practitioners. The templates and curated links are great, the content is current and the perspective is very reflective of the reality of Managing change in the real world in this day an age. Thanks Lena Ross and Dr Jen Frahm for the course and your great books.

Absolutely loved it. Its made me realize how much our rules have evolved over time. Its so important to recognize the agile world we live in and consider more flexible ways of delivery to ensure people are able, willing and ready to receive change!

I didn’t expect to enjoy the learning and the practical application as much as I did. It was the best self-paced online course I’ve taken! It’s broadened my way of thinking in many ways – about types of change with deeper and valuable perspectives to become a better change leader. This program is about exploration and adventurous learning, rather than many courses that are about preparing you for an exam. The opportunity to experiment, then reflect really surprised me.

It was an amazing journey. Every session delivered unexpected learnings and AHA moments.

“What a great journey. I joined ACLI in the beginning of 2021 and it was incredible journey. I learned a lot about agile change leadership, extended my network, finalised reading all Dr Jen and Lena’s books, which can only be recommended. As a leader, it helped me explore leadership styles more deeply and challenge other leaders in my business to do the same. Now it is time to reflect on all great learning and create a wishlist for the new year.
THANK YOU LENA & Dr. Jen
Happy holidays to all of you”

There’s so much value in it. It brings ‘little a’ and ‘big A’ agile together for me to lead the transformation.

It’s a game changer! I’m having better conversations with stakeholders about how to do change differently! The content has helped me have better connections and coaching conversations with stakeholders to help them think differently about change

What this shows is that I can be a really good leader…the type the future needs.

Doing this certificate program has helped me understand many aspects of agile, change and leadership along with the emotion that comes with change. I can now tap into more ways of delivering and leading agile change to achieve effective outcomes. These additional tools have given me more confidence to influence and understand the emotional layers to change.

I loved it! I’m pioneering a new way of thinking about how we lead and deliver change.

It’s been great to learn from people who have applied the tools and content themselves – so it’s not just theory. It’s practical and real. This is a most valuable program from a relevance and application point of view. It’s not just about tools – it’s a blend of tools, tips and self-reflection.

The learning content gave me a more in-depth appreciation of what sits behind change methodologies.

This was a journey that was rich in both professional and personal development. I have discovered new concepts that I now apply in both.

I enjoyed every moment of the course. It has challenged me, changed my thinking and given me so much insight. I am so grateful.

The certificate program was relevant, practical and insightful. It shows progression from what we thought about change to current thinking. With practical ideas and resources to use in your everyday work, it delivers insights to a new way of thinking focussing on the human element.

This was a great opportunity for me to learn more about Design Thinking and how I can bring a difference approach to Change Management, while also refreshing some skills and knowledge.

Just finished this course last week – it’s great, insightful, interesting and thought provoking…Thanks Lena

This course definitely had more information about what a Change Manager actually delivers than other Change Programs I’ve completed which are more focused on Change theory and models.

It’s a fantastic program – it is practical and flexible and it encourages self-reflection and experimentation. I learned several new concepts and skills and look forward to using and sharing them in my workplace. I’m onto my third course, following the pathway and loving the delivery style, materials and content. Currently enjoying Agile Change Manager Cert – excellent content and introduction to Agile.

I hove recently finished the Agile Change Manager Certificate and it is fantastic. Perfect bite size chunks of knowledge to absorb with stories of the tools put into practise, theory and real life examples and templates for me to take away. I om feeling much better equipped to now consolidate my change planning into agile ways of working!

It is a great course with lots of useful information, templates and materials to support you working agile.

I Enjoyed The Bite Sized Learning On This One, Made It Easier To Digest.

Thank You So Much! Another Amazing Content Rich, Insightful. Relevant And Practical Course. Loved It!!

The ‘from the trenches’ insights were real and practical. Some fast-takeaways with immediate application.

I got a lot out of this training. I believe it should be extended to all Project Managers and Delivery Leads to ensure consistency across the business. Templates and change management site should be broadcasted for awareness regularly. Lots of benefits.

The toolkit is great, and having the material to use and refer to helps with embedding.

This course was very relevant and targeted for nbn. The format of half a day with light pre-work was excellent. The content also obviously linked to other training including enterprise leadership, the leader immersion sessions and agility accelerator. I would recommend this training as I found it very valuable.

I felt that the course contents were well thought out, appropriate for the audience (regardless of where their level of maturity is). Facilitators have taken current nbn context in consideration and encouraged engagement.

I thought the content was great! the frameworks, and the lessons learned were awesome. We will definitely implement them.

Flexible program with understanding and adaptive facilitators. Good to get the materials after the session as well.

I am very pleased to share that I’ve completed the Agile Mindset course from Agile Change Leadership Institute and highly recommend it to all Change Leaders. Dr Jen Frahm and Lena Ross thank you for designing this thought provoking and insightful course.

Last week I completed this short course The Agile Mindset. It is something I suggest all of my contacts that are embarking on their digital transition undertake, to understand the human side of all of the changes they are making in their organisation. Thanks, Dr Jen Frahm and Lena Ross

Another well-rounded course by Lena Ross and Dr Jen Frahm. The course has inspired me to refine my change capability and adjust how I think about leading and delivering. Highly recommend!

It was great! I enjoyed the opportunity to experiment and reflect. The learning content bridges the gap between knowledge and application.

I now have a strong arsenal of resources I can point leaders to -to back up what I do as a change practitioner.

The program provided a holistic learning experience which was more practical and applied than I expected!

Undertaking this course revealed a wealth of insights that refined my change and leadership capabilities and expanded my change toolkit.

The modules in this program cover off themes and topics that are really pertinent – especially now! I couldn’t have done this at a better time!

On starting March 2020…It was the worst time to do a course, it was the BEST course to do at this time!

On starting March 2020 … it has been an amazing time to do the course. We’ve had a real event, been able to apply the learning and practice in real time!

The learning wasn’t just intellectual, it was emotional and personal as well. All of the topics were incredibly relevant to my work in the last year.

I loved it! I’m, pioneering a new way of thinking about how we lead and deliver change.

Collaborative is one of our core values at SimCorp, and I started 2023 with an intent to deepen my collaboration skills – recognising how fundamental these are to my change enablement role and to my facilitation of our cross-SimCorp People Change Community.

Today I completed an extended e-learning course on Busting Silos – curated and taught by Dr Jen Frahm and Melissa Dark, who share deep expertise on theory and practices of collaboration, communication and change. There was so much rich content (both familiar and unfamiliar) – but my 3 most significant takeaways were:

1) For collaboration to be meaningful it needs to be a purposeful choice – not a default response. Adam Kahane’e decision-tree on the relevance/role of collaboration in different circumstances was a lightbulb moment for me.

2) Collaboration that actually ‘busts silos’ is effectively counter-cultural in traditionally hierarchical organisations – potentially a ‘rebellious’ activity – so it should always be visibly guided by intent for positive change. I hadn’t seen myself as a ‘rebel at work’ before!

3) Collaborating across silos requires consciously opening yourself up to the discomfort of productive conflict – as you navigate different agendas, priorities and ways of working. This requires skills far beyond those we use in everyday, comfortable collaboration – e.g. the ‘tactical empathy’ recommended by Chris Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator.

This course was very relevant and targeted for nbn. The format of half a day with light pre-work was excellent. The content also obviously linked to other training including enterprise leadership, the leader immersion sessions and agility accelerator. I would recommend this training as I found it very valuable.

We were really impressed with how you got our leaders to where they needed to be for further change. Our leadership team felt they had a much better understanding of change and how to lead through continuing uncertainty. You have set us perfectly for the next step.

I’ve just completed the Brain-Friendly Change course from the . This was an interesting short course focusing on the latest thinking about how our brains react to change. Lots of practical brain-friendly takeaways to add to my change toolbox. Thanks Dr Jen Frahm and Lena Ross for another great course.

I’ve just completed the Agile Change Manager Program, and it was brilliant! Jen and Lena have brought together the worlds of Agile and Change Management in a way that is easy to understand, engaging and inspiring! Lots of takeouts for me, and I know I’ll be revisiting modules and resources again as they are full of golden nuggets!

We did the Agile Change Leadership course as a team which involved us independently watching the videos and spending time together reflecting and committing to actions. The layout of the course made it easy to focus on a chapter at a time and allow time to implement some of the actions between each reflection session. Being able to test out ideas and tools allowed us to practically apply the skills.

I really enjoyed the combination of videos, knowledge checks, tips and tools – kept me engaged and I loved doing this with my team. I loved the undercurrent of “give it go” and encouragement to try, question and test. Thanks Jen & Lena

Very happy and proud to have completed my certification as an Agile Change Manager from Agile Change Leadership Institute. Thanks, Doreen Sullivan for introducing me and recommending I do this, it was great! Thanks Dr Jen Frahm and Lena Ross! Dr Jen and Lena have so much experience to share, and it is easy to absorb. I would really recommend it to anyone working in change – no matter how the actual project might be defined, we’re all agile now!

The Agile Change Leadership Certification course, and it was quite the journey! What made it stand out was its unique blend of deep reflection and hands-on experimentation.

Instead of just talking theory, we got our hands dirty with experiments. We interacted with each module, tackled scenarios, and learned by doing. It was refreshing to see theory come to life in such a tangible way.

Both Lena and Dr. Jen were engaging facilitators, guiding us through each learning bump with expertise and offering invaluable insights and experiences along the way. Reading their perspectives and feedback to my submitted experiments really broadened my understanding of change leadership.

In the end, this course wasn’t just about learning concepts; it was about building skills and confidence. If you’re looking to level up your change leadership game, I can’t recommend this course enough!

I really enjoyed this course, the knowledge and support provided. I really enjoyed how the content provoked thoughts in how I could successfully lead, and support change better than I do now. What also helped was the ongoing feedback from Jen and Lena! It’s not everyday where you have two of the best in change management provide you with feedback, insights, and ideas!

Loved the Agile Change Manager course! Already using some of the new skills and tools I gained. My single (minor) suggestion is that some of the content was obviously done while COVID was still very current (references lock downs etc) – would be great to update that. Thanks, Ruth

Thoroughly enjoyed this short course. Completed it in a day, the course consisted of videos, curated materials, an assessment and a digital badge. Personally, I benefited from reinforcement of Vuca,Vuca Prime, Bani but more importantly, a reminder of the power of being mindful, improving my own self awareness of the impacts complex changes bring to a business and how as practitioners we can successfully play a role in improving accountability for change agendas.
