Henko Leadership & Practitioner Supervision:
Agile Collaboration Effectiveness Circle
What is the Agile Collaboration Effectiveness Cohort?
The Agile Collaboration Effectiveness Cohort is a facilitated circle of practitioners and professionals who reflect on their Agile leadership and focus on generating collaboration from Agile team events. The coaches offer insights and education points and organise reflections in practice based on the participants' lived experiences.
​
The learning process is rooted in practice and makes learning practical and pragmatic. It suits people who have worked or are starting to work in Agile ways. It will develop the participants' leadership competencies and ability to lead their team with systemic leadership competencies in an Agile context.

Why joining a Supervision Cohort?
Coaches nurture their coaching practice continually following Supervision. As coaching is a reflective practice, coaches progress by reflecting on their practice regularly in individual or group set-ups.
​
Modern leaders and practitioners use coaching competencies, especially those working with Agile teams. Developing such leadership does not happen from simply attending training or earning a certification but from continuous practice. Supervision stimulates the reflective process and accelerates the development of new competencies in day-to-day practice.
​
So, if you want to capitalise on the qualifications you achieved or if you want to develop your learning from practical situations, Supervision circles are the next step in your competency development.
​
Pre-requisites to join this cohort
To join the cohort, you do not need prior Scrum or Agile certification, though you would be expected to have worked in this way and be familiar with the Agile language and intentions of the Scrum team events.
​
The Agile Collaboration Effectiveness cohort transcends the traditional approach to learning from theory and organises reflections and learning from the practice instead. It is a highly pragmatic approach that complements the knowledge and experiences you have to improve your mastery. Consequently, by joining the cohort, you will be expected to have a working example of a team from which you can share experiences and try solutions.
You do not need to be the team leader but will be expected to proactively influence your team from the insights and new perspectives that will emerge from your participation in this cohort. The learnings will help you do this from any role in the team, whether you are a scrum master, product owner or team member.
