Globalization has resulted in many organizations choosing to adopt complex organizational structures (usually described as a "matrix"). These structures give tremendous flexibility to the organization but can place enormous pressure on the individual as they strive to maintain their effectiveness.
Skills for Matrix working is a unique workshop developed by Global Integration, where we share our expertise gained from working with many of the world's most successful international organizations. This personal skills development program is designed to allow participants to develop and practice a range of techniques and personal skills that work well in an international matrix environment.
Three major benefits from attending the workshop are:
- The development of improved networking skills
- An improved ability to get things done when you don't have traditional authority
- Learning key skills to get things done and manage trade-offs in complex and uncertain environments

What will the program help me do?
Introducing the Matrix Pyramid®
The workshop will answer the following questions:
- How do I live with responsibility and accountability but without authority?
- I have multiple bosses and I feel overworked and unable to escalate effectively - what can I do?
- How can I function effectively within a business structure that lacks clear reporting lines and when I continually have to get things done with people in other departments?
- When people have agreed to do things, how can I improve the likelihood that they will actually deliver?
- Why do I find it easier to get on with some people and not others, and how can I change my own style to work more effectively with people with whom I don't make a natural connection?
- How can I best influence someone when separated by distance culture time and technology?
- How can I improve my personal effectiveness, my worth and my profile in a business that is increasingly facing "global" challenges requiring international co-operation?
- Why do we have to do it differently -- the previous structure seemed far easier, and more effective?
- How can we reduce disagreements and eliminate unnecessary conflict in the organization?
