Managing the Matrix Course Outline

"At last, a course that addresses the frustrations we see of people working in a matrix structure. So often issues are escalated and conflict develops because people need help to make this dynamic structure work well. "

Jayne Owen, CEO, CTP

This new Managing the Matrix programme helps managers to develop the behaviours that matrix management structures that complex global businesses so often adopt.

On this workshop we examine three aspects to reinforce positive behaviours: understanding the logical business case for matrix working; dealing with the beliefs and emotions that drive behaviour when people are interacting within the matrix; and giving you many opportunities to practise the skills of working effectively within such a structure.

Who should attend?

You should attend if you're in one or more of the following situations:

Manager who is involved in either a formal or informal matrix system
Individual who has multiple bosses with sometimes conflicting priorities
Manager who wants to get things done more efficiently at a reduced cost
Manager who wants a practical solution to improve the skills of your staff
Individual who works in a complex and constantly changing environment
