Systems Coaching (ICP-SYS)

About this course

See the system. Coach the relationships that shape lasting agility.

Systems Coaching (ICP-SYS) equips Agile coaches and leaders to work beyond individuals—into the dynamics, structures, and interdependencies that drive team and organizational performance.

You’ll learn how human systems interact, how patterns of behavior emerge, and how to surface root causes of dysfunction instead of chasing symptoms at the team level alone.

The focus is designing conditions that support collaboration, responsiveness, and customer focus—so change sticks in the relationships and structures that surround people, not only in their personal skills.

The course balances hard and soft skills: professional coaching techniques applied inside complex enterprise environments—helping people and systems internalize Agile values and sustain real change.

This isn’t a lecture-heavy certification course.

Your learning experience includes

  • Interactive, facilitator-led learning
  • Practice coaching systems and relational dynamics
  • Practical systems coaching tools and techniques
  • Collaborative exercises using tools such as Mural
  • A printable participant workbook
