Fostering Collaboration Across the Organization
The Challenge
Executives are tasked with reaching goals and levied with expectations for the performance of their team(s) and projects. A strict focus on these can lead to success, but
frequently result in silo-mentality. This can lead to:
- Misaligned goals across the organization.
- Political jockeying for teams and projects instead of companywide objectives.
- Disruptive or discontinued collaboration between teams.
- Utlimately a breakdown in productivity as each team shuts out the others.
The Curriculum
With this course, executives learn how to think outside the silo of their
team/department to support company-wide goals as part of a team of managers and
executives. They’ll learn how to:
- Develop relationships across the organization.
- Identify interdependencies, and effectively negotiate how those dependencies are
managed. - Become organizationally aware of the dynamics impacting other parts of the business.
- Understand how the choices in their domain of influence impacts success across the matrix, and how choices in other areas impact their success.
- Collaborate across the matrix on priorities and how resources will be leveraged to achieve those priorities.
Training Options
The T Dev – Managing in a Matrix course can be delivered to your executive team as
a Transformation Point program -or- we can customize the materials to incorporate them into your broader training and development programs.
