Passport to Collaborative Working

Why Passport to Collaborative Working?
Working in complex organisations, such a matrix or a large global organisation, can be difficult, especially if you aren't used to working in such an environment.  Having to rely on others to get your own job done, having to influence and convince others of your ideas or desire to do something your way...not what we normally expect to be doing at work!

This course will:

• Help employees understand the type of thinking and behaviours that can help them collaborate and gain greater cooperation with others and between teams.
• Create a personal theory of practice on how to develop and maintain resilience in a complex organisational structure.
• Assist employees to understand methods for working more effectively with colleagues in other countries and cultures.

• Understand what sets a matrix structure aside from simple organisation structures, and the challenges that come with a matrix
