As organizations flatten to meet the dramatic impacts that disruption and change are having on business, the dynamics of influence are changing rapidly.

The old concept of managing up and managing down is being replaced by executing and engaging horizontally throughout the entire organization.

To become effective you must show you can get things done while navigating the complexities brought by flat organizations.

Flat organizations might at first seem simple to work through. But the reality is much different.

Flat organizations can bring more politics and road blocks as the number of people involved in a decision increase.

When you democratize the decision making in an organization, things will slow down and there will be some level of dysfunction.

David Mantica (LinkedIn profile) will explain why organizations have started to flatten and how professionals can successfully navigate any organization type.

He will compare matrix, command and control, and bottom up influence.

Then he will look at the psychology of organizational behavior in order to highlight the key professionals skills required to get execution as well as give real-world examples to show different pathways to execution.

Things you will learn in this presentation:

• Professionals skills required to be a strong influencer
• Basics of matrix organizations
• Basics of command and control organizations
• Basics of self-organized management style
• High level look at organizational psychology
• What happens to “bad” or manipulative Influencers, staying away from the “strategy person” trap
• Tips and techniques to be an executing Influencer

Presenter: David Mantica (LinkedIn profile)  has product managed the initiation, development and delivery of more than 300 instructor-led and live, online training courses, in software development life cycle, IT, telecommunications, finance, healthcare IT, and marketing industries.

The WebinEYE series demonstrates best practices in oil & gas project management through application. The webinars are presented in an engaging and inspiring storytelling style by industry experts.

Successful Management & Delivery Of Projects Depends On People!

People and people’s behaviours are critical for project success. Without appropriate and correct attitudes and behaviours by the people, projects regularly fail.

Project delivery requires the collaboration and interaction of many parties including client, contractors, and supply chain partners.

The core values needed to drive appropriate behaviours on projects are consistent and recognisable.

Organisations and individuals that deliver projects need to demonstrate credibility, reliability and integrity. These behaviours provide the foundation for trusting relationships.

Project stakeholders and project team need to demonstrate alignment to project objectives.

The WebEYE Webinar Series

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) team consists of Senior Project Practitioners from various Oil & Gas Operators, Contractors, Industry Bodies and wider supply chain organisations who come together to work towards a single objective which is to “influence the skills development initiatives that address current project management issues and competency development across the Offshore EC Industry”.

Key objectives of the WebinEYE Series are to:

• Enhance ‘experiential and contextual’ development of PM disciplines rather than just ‘academic’ development.
• Promote a knowledge sharing culture within the community based around good practice, involving all sectors in the Oil & Gas Industry and supply chain organisations.
• Promote development of non-technical competence, specifically around values and behaviours.
• Strengthen cross sector support of the PM good practice initiative by Industry Bodies and Associations.
