Managing in a Matrix Workshop

This workshop explores what a matrix organization is, the advantages and disadvantages of it, as well as the impact of trying to successfully manage projects and teams in a matrix.  The matrix emphasis is on sharing expert/specialist resources across projects that may, themselves, have shared leadership between project management and functional management. Because of this, for a matrix organization to be successful, it must emphasize team, collaboration, relationships, accountability and shared systems and processes. The ability to be proactive and act independently, while still maintaining the ability to act as a team, is important. This course introduces several tools and techniques for matrix team management, influencing without authority, for managing at different levels within the organization, and for dealing with politics.
