Matrix Management 2.0™ Training & Workshops

Company Specific Training

We know that every matrix organization is unique with different structures, management systems and "rules of the game" for operating in the matrix. The Matrix Management Institutes'™ goal when supporting matrix management training efforts for leaders and team members across the organization is to ensure we offer organizational specific training that accomplishes the following return on your training dollars:

  • Creates alignment within the organization to a horizontally focused operational model
  • Develops the knowledge about your matrix structure and how it will operate
  • Educates leaders and team members on the 'rules of the game' for your matrix
  • Develops the capability to lead and work without authority

The path to successful Matrix Management 2.0™ Training

With over 20 years experience working with organizations that require matrix management training, we know that success of these program requires three things:

  1. Organizational leaders that are committed to the principles and rules of Matrix Management 2.0™ and willing to make the necessary shifts required for success at their level.
  2. The Matrix Management 2.0™ Structure, Prioritization and Accountability keys have been customized and the 'rules of the game' have been created. (Click here to learn more.)
  3. The program being trained is aligned to those customized principles and rules and focuses on developing knowledge and skills to work collaboratively in the team-based environment.

Once we have committed leaders and a customized S.P.A.R.C.™ solution, we can then create the program that is not only a success for the participant, but for the organization as well.

When our team is engaged to deliver matrix management training our approach is to use our base training modules, and through rapid development techniques, customize the program to not only educate everyone on the new 'rules of the game' and build awareness of the matrix organization. The following topics would be utilized as base modules to develop a training program. For specific collaborative leadership skills, standardized
