CONNECT's Power, Politics & Partnership Workshop ($495.00 value) FREE !
January 18 - 19, 2007

Large, ambitious strategic projects are rife with political issues. As part of our Human Performance Optimization™ practice, CONNECT: The Knowledge Network invites you to a powerful one and a half day event that will change the way you view these issues and improve your ability to manage, sponsor, be a customer of, or simply work on, large, cross-organizational projects.

Power, Politics & Partnership is a dynamic, yawn-free leadership development program. This in-house workshop focuses on the worlds of Tops, Middles, Bottoms and Customers during turbulent times. It gets to the heart of partnership in organization life - what makes partnership so critical, what gets in the way of it developing, and what the role of leaders is in making it happen.  The centerpiece of the workshop is an organization exercise in which participants are dropped into roles as top executives, middle managers, workers and customers interacting in a chaotic, fast-paced environment. This visceral approach enables the learning to get beyond the head level to where it really hits home and sticks. Peer discussion reinforces the students' learning.

In this drawing, only one (1) person will be qualified to attend the CONNECT workshop held on January 18 - 19, 2007.
