Matrix Management Rapid Fire 2.0™

Having leadership buy-in to the implementation of matrix management is key its success, however being able to find time to develop their awareness and knowledge about matrix management technology that focuses on the main dimension of the organization – the horizontal dimension – is often a challenge. 

The Rapid Fire program is an executive level program that is a great way to educate leaders on the most important matrix management topics rapidly. In four hours, we address the key topics every leader needs to know about Matrix Management 2.0, demonstrate through simulation why the old vertical model of management is outdated and jumpstart the dialogue for approaching matrix management in a different way.

Include this program during an annual leadership team meeting or bring it onsite for an intact team. The benefit you’ll achieve is an immediate understanding by your leaders of what it will take to be a successful matrix and create the spark needed to move forward.
