About ACE
So, how can organizations restore the balance and move away from
command–and-control ways of working?
How can they build a culture where agile teams can set their own pace, and manage themselves? And, finally how can they use the very principles in the Agile Manifesto to guide their transition into a truly agile culture?
The Semco Style Framework and Roadmap provide the answers to these questions. Born out of years of practices successfully deployed at Semco and formulated into a theoretical framework by renowned Dutch Leadership Institute , De Baak, the Framework provides a growing library of practices to build an Agile Culture. Agile Culture Essentials (ACE) makes this Framework and Roadmap available for use by aspiring organizations that are looking to build a truly Agile workplace through a bouquet of trainings and consulting engagements tailored to the needs of Agile.
what we offer
The “Experience and Lead Agile Culture” training program
This certified Agile Culture Essentials program enables leaders and coaches to experience what an actual Agile culture looks like through immersive simulation exercises and by gaining a firsthand experience of the behaviors that should be avoided and adopted. During the sessions, we will focus on the basic principles of Agile and how they can bring a lasting change to your workplace. Combining them with contents around the Semco Style Framework, this program condenses the knowledge you need to implement practices that build effective, self-organized and Agile teams.
The ‘Experience and Lead Agile Culture’ is a 4 x 4 hours online training program using facilitation, case studies, experiential role-plays and hands-on exercises. The whole program will be supported by MIRO for live and interactive discussions and co-creation. It will capture all learnings of the participants and will be exported and shared with you afterwards!
But that’s not all: the program will be rounded up with a certification ceremony, where all participants have the opportunity to share personal learnings and insights within the group.

The Three R’s of Change
If an organization wants to reap the full benefits of Agile, it needs to implement the three Rs of change. An organization cannot hope to become truly agile if the way it operates, at every level, is rooted firmly in conventional hierarchies. For, the hierarchical set-up is highly conducive to the cascade or waterfall methodology of working where the top brass decides what needs to be done and issues orders for the teams to execute.
