Frequently Asked Questions:
With the course changes through Scrum Alliance, which certification will I now receive?
You can choose either of:
- Leading Evolutionary Organisations (LEO1), or
- Certified Agile Leader 1 (CAL 1) certification.
Not both.
Do all LEO1/CAL 1 trainings cover the same content?
No. And there is a good reason for this. All CAL 1 trainings cover the same high-level objectives. However, each CAL 1 reflects the unique leadership and organisational development journey of the instructor.
The Leading Evolutionary Organisations (LEO1) with Certified Agile Leader (CAL 1) experience reflects the unique intellectual property developed over a decade of professional practice. The Michael Sahota approach has been proven around the world through the success of graduates. You get the SELF Framework and the Leading Beyond Change book to continue your journey.
What is the difference between SAFe and LEO1/CAL 1?
On the surface, the goals of SAFe and LEO1/CAL1 are similar: An Agile Organisation.
SAFe has a focus on tactical elements, such as the process, roles, multi-team releases. It is a way to adopt Agile practices in a large organisation. One might say the focus is on Doing Agile. The focus here is on what we do to improve things with as little organisational change as possible.
The focus of the Michael Sahota LEO1/CAL 1 Experience is an integrated view of Organisational, Cultural, Leadership, and Org Change. It’s about Being Agile: How we use an Agile Mindset to create a nimble flexible organisation powered by engaged, innovative people. It’s all about creating a High-Performance Organisation using Agile. It is the missing foundation that will allow you to unlock your current approach to Agile be it SAFe, LeSS, etc.
Do you offer private LEO1 or CAL 1 training?
Yes. Organisations are getting huge benefits from internal LEO1 or CAL 1 training. With executives, managers, and coaches all in the same room, we increase the shared organisational awareness and alignment needed to get high performance. Participants can have internal discussions that are not possible in a public class.
We also offer an integrated training and coaching approach that gives leaders the ongoing support they need to make the shift to a new way of working and being.
