Challenges and trends
Matrix and project organisations, networks and cross-functional teams serve to bundle resources, create innovations, simplify and accelerate performance and decision-making processes in an agile, turbulent environment.
Employees and managers assume new roles: they integrate different perspectives, roles and people.
In order to fulfill this role, they need to understand which organizational, mental and social barriers can occur during collaboration between different units/divisions.
To get the collaboration up and running, employees and managers need to be clear about the contact points and tools that bring collaboration benefits into play and prevent a paralysis of collaboration projects.
What will be covered during the seminar?
- Understanding the dynamics of collaboration with independent partners
- Collaborative leadership through the development of collaboration strategies, common solutions, collaborative organisational structures and a collaborative culture
- Development of collaborative roles and work relationships
- Development of courses of actions as a cross-functional team leader or team member in „tricky“ interpersonal situations and role dilemmas
- Effective collaboration management when interacting with other divisions on the same level and in the context of a vertical hierarchy.
The topics are based on case studies, your own examples, inputs and practical exercises.
