Management 3.0 is a series of leadership and team collaboration workshops, a book, and an international movement. It is the belief that management is too important to be left to the managers, and that everyone together can improve work-life, employee empowerment, and results. It is a belief that more can be learned in half an hour of a game than a month of meetings. Here you can learn all about Management 3.0 and its methods.

No. That’s all on you. Don’t think you can walk out of a course or read one of our books and you will suddenly know it all. YOU have to do it. Everything we do with Management 3.0 is to give you employe engagement exercises and games that you can try with your team right away. With everything you ask yourself, “What can I do tomorrow?” We are very much about the practical – so your success as a leader comes from you putting our best practices into practice.

The spirit of Management 3.0 is everywhere, any time someone is trying to influence positive change in their organization, and the in-person Management 3.0 workshops are already in more than 130 countries. Here is the list of upcoming workshops run by our more than 470+ fabulous facilitators. If you don’t see one where or when you want it, simply fill in the request form and we will have a local facilitator contact you or you can pick a facilitator to contact directly.

If you want to become a facilitator but can’t attend a workshop in your area, you can also go for a Certificate of Practice which will let you also access a facilitators’ license, allowing you to be the first to bring Management 3.0 to your area.

Martie is the friendly Management 3.0 Monster. Martie is representing the six views of Management 3.0.

The name was picked because it starts with the letter M, has six letters, and is gender-neutral. That’s all.

We are aware of those books and developments. Looking back, it was maybe not a smart idea to use Management 3.0 as a brand name. But it is as it is. We talked about renaming the brand but that will be a huge loss of marketing effort. There are many books, blog posts, etc. that refer to Management 3.0. That would all be lost when we would rename the brand. Additionally, we would need to build up our social media presence from the ground.

It is not about increasing the number. 3.0 is really the contradiction of 1.0 and 2.0 is in the middle. It is just to make the difference clear.

Yes! We have four follow-up workshops specifically designed to deepen your learnings after the two-day Foundation Workshop. Please visit this page to learn more about “Agile Change Leadership Workshop”, “Agile Co-Creation Leadership Workshop”, “Agile Team Leadership Workshop” and “Agile People Leadership Workshop”.

Please check out this page.

Absolutely! Just contact us via info@management30.com and describe what you are looking for (e.g. time frame, language, location, what kind of training, number of participants) and we will get in touch or you can book a meeting here to discuss.

For inhouse workshops, our approach is bespoke depending on your needs and what is achievable in terms of time and cost. Our price therefore varies depending on the solution so book a meeting or email us and we can help.

For open public workshops, each Management 3.0 facilitator runs things their own way. They are allowed to decide on their own pricing, discounts, group discounts, etc. The experiences of a facilitator and location can also influence the price of a workshop.

For Management 3.0 Inhouse Programs, our terms are agreed with each client depending on the type of solution being delivered. Speak to your Management 3.0 team representative to find out more.

For Management 3.0 open public workshops, each Management 3.0 facilitator will have their owns terms, depending on local legislation, customs and policies. Check with your facilitator what will happen if a workshop is cancelled. 

We have discontinued the academy.management30.com, and you can no longer purchase new courses. If you have already bought a course, click here and access the course.

In a nutshell, yes. All workshop hours qualify for both the Project Management Institute’s traditional project development units, usually called PMI PDUs, and for the PMI agile certified practitioner credits, usually called PMI-ACP credits. You should contact PMI directly for specific certification.

The facilitator or organizer of the workshop would need to prove how many hours of the Management 3.0 workshop are related to project management topics and skills for project managers. In our view, this is 16 hours of relevant content (i.e. 16 PDUs) for the 2-Day Foundation Workshop.

After the workshop, participants will go to the PMI website to claim PDUs themselves. After they log into the pmi.org website they should enter the following information:
• Category for PDU Registration: Course or Training
• Provider: << Indicate the name of the company that provided the training >>*
• Course: Management 3.0 Two-Day Workshop
• Description: Management 3.0 Two-Day Workshop
• Date Started: << Indicate Start Date of the event >>
• Date Completed: << Indicate End Date of the event >>
• PDU values: << Indicate the distribution of PDUs offered according to the Talent Triangle sections >>**

*Management 3.0 is not a PMI Registered Education Provider (REP). You as a facilitator/organizer can be a PMI Registered Education Provider (REP) or a third-party provider and you have to inform the participants which provider should they choose or enter during the process.

**See the Continuing Certification Requirements handbook (CCR) Handbook for more information about the Talent Triangle sections. In our view, the proposed split for a 2-day Foundation Workshop is:
Technical project management: 4
Leadership: 10
Strategic and business management: 2
For more information on how to maintain your PMI certifications, see:

From the Scrum Alliance Website: “A Scrum Education Unit® (SEU®) is a credit earned by completing an educational training or learning opportunity that meets a defined set of learning objectives. Here you’ll find more information about this credit and learn about how to earn and use them” [https://www.scrumalliance.org/get-certified/scrum-education-units]

As far as we know, Management 3.0 workshops count for their SEU’s. Check out their website for their details, we are not involved in this system.

It’s more of a question of either-or, so you can choose. Both the Management 3.0 Foundation Workshop and the Agility in HR Workshop by Management 3.0 last two days. Both are based on the same principles and include mainly the same content.

The difference is that the Agility in HR workshop is crafted with HR people in mind.

When we looked into the study objectives of Agility in HR we realized that we already covered most of the topics in the Management 3.0 Foundation Workshop. This is a good thing. We lacked a few topics like performance management, salaries, and other areas. So we added these topics to the slide decks. About 90% of the workshop comes from existing modules in the Foundation and View specific workshops.

Everyone working in people management, including HR, recruiting, HR business partners, people development, middle management and team leaders.

We’ve been conducting great management and HR workshops for more than 10 years! Our courseware is already used in many other workshops and valued by professionals worldwide. The concepts of Management 3.0 are well tested and have been proven in many organizations. We have 100+ facilitators, and they all can contribute to improving the workshop!

In the Management 3.0 Community, you’ll find the accountability, support, and tools to help you become the leader you want to be.

All the benefits of becoming a Community Member are described on Management 3.0 Community page.

To become a community member, you need to: 1) submit an application, 2) that application needs to be approved by the Management 3.0 team, and 3) pay the membership fee, which varies depending on your country of residence.

They are hundreds of men and women around the world. They are people just like you who wanted to be change agents within their organizations, so they took the Management 3.0 course or tested the Management 3.0 practices on their teams. They influenced change in their own organizations by using some of the Management 3.0 best practices and games. For many of them, Management 3.0 is one of many trainings they offer, often including businesses coaches, agile coaches, lean coaches, corporate culture coaches and more. They are a diverse group of licensed facilitators, but they certainly share a passion for improving businesses and lives, knowing the two usually go together.  Meet the Facilitators here.

We definitely want to spread the Management 3.0 movement around the world. There is different ways to become a Management 3.0 Facilitator.
 
On this page you’ll find all the information needed for becoming a licensed Management 3.0 Facilitator.

We exclude all Facilitator profiles that don’t have profile photo from the Management 3.0 website’s Facilitator list.

We take into account the following factors:

-Average of past attendee ratings of public and private workshops (discontinued workshops are also counted)
-Total number of workshops held (discontinued workshops are also counted)
-Total number of ratings from attendees (discontinued workshops are also counted)
-If the facilitator has upcoming scheduled workshops
-If the facilitator holds an Certified Agile Leadership Facilitator badge
-If the facilitator holds an Certificate of Practice and Foundation Workshop badges
-If the facilitator holds an Agility in HR by Management 3.0 Facilitator badge
-If the facilitator holds multiple Management 3.0 badges
-Years of experience

*If a facilitator does not have a profile photo then the profile is not visible on the list of facilitators.

On every page load, we randomly choose the first spot holder from among our active facilitators. All facilitators who are selected must meet these criteria: They have a profile picture. Their bio contains at least 200 words. They have at least one event scheduled. They either are new Facilitators or have a rating of no less than 4 stars.

Sorry no. Management 3.0 is about practices to help any worker manage the organization. It’s a way of looking at work systems. We believe family or friends are not a work system. Having said that, some of the Management 3.0 Practices can also be used with family and friends. Feel free to experience!

Yes, your articles must be published online and publicly available. Articles on your Google Drive or Dropbox are not accepted.

No, unfortunately, you can’t. We only accept articles written in English. The reason is that we don’t speak all different languages like Spanish, German or Portuguese and it would be unfair to accept some languages and others not.

Yes, you can use the images provided here.

Most of the games are also available as downloadable PDFs. Delegation Poker, Kudo Cards, and Moving Motivators are currently available for download in 15+ languages! The new Change Management Game is also available for download. If you wish to have officially translated versions of the games to another language, contact us.

Our downloadable PDF files can be used without permission for free distribution in events and for marketing purposes.

Yes!

The reason we publish them on the website is to help you using our practices. You can download the games, or buy them in the webshop and use them while using our practices.

If you want to use our games in a workshop you can do so as long as you credit Management 3.0 as the copyright holder. We also appreciate if you mention that there is a variety of different tools and resources on our website. The more people know about our mission to redefine management and our tangible tools the better.

On our Management 3.0 Online Shop, you can buy tools, games, and exercises used in the workshops, including kudo cards, delegation poker, meddlers, improv cards, and moving motivators, each only available in English.

We don’t make a profit off of any of the games, but rather the charges just cover publishing and shipping them. A lot of the other Management 3.0 exercises are an opportunity for you and your team to get creative, making things that inspire and motivate. Don’t forget to build your own Kudo Box or Happiness Wall!

We are really happy that you want to organize a conference related to Management 3.0. Please reach out to us to see if and how we can help you! Maybe we can support your conference or share the conference via social media.

However, there is one exception. We ask you not to use the word Management 3.0 in your conference name and brand. The main reason is that we have our own conference brand called Forward Summit, online and virtual. We believe if you use Management 3.0 in your title, it will be confusing for people. Additionally, it will look like we are involved in organizing your conference. This may set some expectations over which we have no say or control. We hope you understand.

So far so good. As long as you are organizing a community event, free, available for everyone, and less than 4 hours, you are allowed to use the word Management 3.0 in your event name/title. However, we ask you to make sure to not give the impression this is official or approved by any means. To ensure this, we recommend using “Management 3.0 Community <Country/Region/City>” .

At Management 3.0 we want to support your events as much as possible. The best way we can do that is to know as much as we can about what your plans are. Where is the event? When is it and how do you want to execute it? If you’d like our support, please take a minute to fill out the form and we’ll do our best to make sure it’s a success.

First of all, congratulations! And thank you for spreading the word further.

Please tell us more about your book. We will review your book and decide case by case if we think this book will add value to our audience. Please understand that this is only possible in English and for already published books.

Jurgen Appelo wrote the books Managing for Happiness and Management 3.0 and the publisher has the rights. The publisher (Pearson) has also the rights to translate the books to other languages. However, they don’t do this themselves. A local publisher can buy the rights to translate the book into a certain language. As a result, Jurgen and we are sometimes also surprised when a translation of Management 3.0 pop ups.

So far we know, the book Management 3.0 is available in English, Chinese Simplified, Indonesian, Korean, Polish and Russian. We don’t know where you can buy the books, you could google for the books in the translated language to find out or contact Pearson.

If you have questions about translations of the books, contact the publisher please. We are not involved in this, as also not Jurgen.

Yes, you can use Management 3.0 word on the book cover. We would highly appreciate it when you would also add a link/reference to our website somewhere.
