SWARM Academy

As a Swarm Practitioner you develop a completely different understanding of how organisations function. This knowledge makes you more adaptive, innovative and communicative, making you a more valuable and flexible employee. The training is intended for people who work or want to work in Swarm organisations, but it also works for you as an individual within any organisation. You will learn how, using the Swarm model, you can recognize your own (organisational) behaviour, improve it and make it more future-proof. Last but not least, as a Swarm Practitioner you will learn how to get more motivation and joy out of your work.
