Advanced applied learning path
Lead system change—not another round of rituals
Practise the leadership decisions behind real transformation: respond safely to bad news, distribute decision rights, design a 90-day evidence loop, and measure change beyond ceremony adoption.
- 4 advanced PracticeLabs

Who this is for
- • Leaders
- • Transformation and facilitation roles
- • Specialists working on organization design
What you'll be able to do
- • Distinguish surface-level change from real system transformation
- • Apply leadership behaviors that build alignment, trust, and psychological safety
- • Gather genuine advice without seeking consensus, then make reasoned, transparent decisions
- • Design a 90-day transformation pilot in a real value stream and measure adoption and performance separately
The 90-day evidence loop
Test a system change before scaling it
The path treats transformation as a bounded hypothesis—not a rollout plan. Start with a real value stream, make decision and behaviour changes visible, and use evidence to decide what happens next.
- Diagnose
- Name the system constraint and the behaviour it creates.
- Design
- Choose a small change in decision rights, policy, or feedback.
- Run
- Test it in one value stream with clear guardrails.
- Decide
- Inspect adoption and performance separately before scaling.
How it works
Move from leadership intent to observable behaviour, a bounded pilot, and evidence you can inspect.
01
Diagnose the system
Separate visible Agile rituals from the decision rights, incentives, trust, and feedback loops that shape actual behaviour.
02
Practise four leadership moves
Respond to risky news, use the advice process, design a 90-day pilot, and choose adoption and performance signals. Each PracticeLab unlocks for 50 🪙.
03
Earn the applied credential
Complete every lesson and earn at least 3 stars in each PracticeLab without assistance. There is no separate final quiz.
AgileKoc achievement credential

Before you start
Short answers about access, time, assessment, and the AgileKoc credential.
- Who is this advanced path for?
- It is designed for leaders, transformation and facilitation roles, and organization-design practitioners who can influence decision rights, policies, incentives, or leadership behaviour.
- Do I need to complete another AgileKoc path first?
- There is no technical prerequisite. Familiarity with Agile principles, value streams, and basic measurement will make the scenarios more useful; newer learners may prefer the Agile Mindset and Value & Flow paths first.
- Is the 90-day pilot a fixed transformation template?
- No. It is a bounded evidence loop. You adapt the hypothesis, system change, guardrails, and measures to one real value stream rather than copying a universal rollout plan.
- How much does the path cost?
- All lessons are free. The 4 PracticeLabs cost 50 🪙 each to unlock.
- How do I earn the credential?
- Complete every required lesson and score at least 3 stars in every PracticeLab without assistance. The credential is issued automatically.
