Live Webinar April 13th, 2016 – 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EDT
Presented by:  Human Capital Institute
Webinar Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU

Abandoning the “one person one boss” rule, embracing, and empowering lateral decision-making within an organization can overcome many of the challenges created by the increasing complexity of today’s organizations.

Specialization within departments creates highly focused and deeply skilled operational teams but this can lead to the silo-mentality that hinders cooperation, innovation, and the flow of information and ideas.

Today’s matrixed organizations are designed to tear down these silos and ultimately create a structure that can be more responsive to swiftly changing business needs.

Benefits can only be realized if the matrix works!

Join Brian and Elizabeth for this webcast on building a culture that makes the matrix work.

They will provide an overview of the four components of the Matrix Working Framework that can help make a difference in the matrix working for you and your team.

They will also share highlights from a global study on influence in a matrix, and share best practices from leading organizations.
