Managing in a Matrix

This workshop is a practical investigation into the skills and behaviours that are needed by Managers who work in organisations that have moved to a Matrix structure or are planning to.

Time is given to practising the skills in the 7 capability areas that are needed to operate effectively. These skills are very different from those needed to operate effectively in a hierarchy.

Delegates leave with clarity on what is needed, enhanced skills to make it happen and a personalised development plan for them to implement post workshop.

Measurement as to the effectiveness of the training can be achieved through the use of the on line diagnostic pre and post workshop.
