NEW YORK, February 22, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The Business Agility Institute (BAI) has named the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile) as the official accrediting body for the first-ever Business Agility Education Week.

The inaugural run-up to the Business Agility Conference in New York City will give participants the opportunity to attend courses covering foundational and emergent topics in Business Agility. Each course, offered by various ICAgile Member Organizations, has been accredited by ICAgile against rigorous learning objectives defined by industry thought leaders, enabling attendees to receive prestigious ICAgile Professional Certifications in Business Agility Foundations and other. Participants will be among the first to receive ICAgile’s groundbreaking new certifications in Agile Leadership (ICP-ALP) and Agile Talent (ICP-TAL), announced earlier this year.

Workshops include:

• Business Agility Foundations (Business Agility Foundations [ICP-BAF] certification with Lithespeed).
• Perfect for: Those just getting started with business agility.
• Course focus: Help your business units work with speed, quality, and a focus on value. Leave with concrete steps to implement Agile methods on the business side and practical tools that will help you accelerate value through the entire value stream.
