Applying Political Intelligence Course Outline

The word politics in an organisational sense does not have positive connotations for many of us but we perceive that some situations seem to be resolved using political maneuvers. Applying Political Intelligence is a profoundly interesting course designed to provide clarity on this complex subject and help you to recognise, analyse and improve your contribution to a positive political climate in your organisation. Most importantly the course helps people to use techniques such as influencing, networking and communication to create a positive environment that encourages an open forum where a shared agenda is understood and pursued. The process uses a diagnostic tool for delegates to identify their own political profile and the personal agenda that motivates them.

Who should attend?

Designed for managers at all levels who need to apply political intelligence and have an impact on the political behaviour in the business as a whole or in their particular sphere of operations.

How delegates will benefit

For the first time delegates will understand their own Political Intelligence using the unique diagnostic tool

A shared understanding and recognition of negative and positive behaviours can change the culture of a company

The full potential of the company can be released by removing the blocks that negative political cultures can create

Training Approach

This workshop is uses a combination of trainer input, knowledge sharing with interactive syndicate work and case studies

Group size is kept to a maximum of 12 to facilitate sharing of experience amongst the delegates

Workshop leader: David Bancroft-Turner

David's background is in International Banking. He worked in National Westminster Bank for fourteen years including a four years overseas spell in Bahrain. He operated in a number of areas on the graduate fast track scheme and was part of the project team that set up Nat West Australia Bank and other overseas acquisitions and disposals.

He then entered the world of training and development as a career move and undertook various roles before moving to Nat West Markets at formation as their Head of Management Development. In 1993 he joined Pearl Assurance as Head of Field Staff Training, keeping the company's name out of the press during the pensions debacle. He then moved to a new position as Head of Management Development and Training, implementing what is now seen as the largest in-house accredited development scheme in the country - 'Better by Miles'.

David coaches many senior executives and is passionate about the subject of organisational politics and is designer of the unique positive organisational politics process Political Intelligence™
