Overview

As a result of this, misunderstandings can arise quickly and conflict develops which, if not addressed quickly, can remain throughout the project and impact on
future opportunities. Our mobilisation workshops are focused on developing relationships, gaining clarity of objectives and how performance will be measured. We facilitate a two-day workshop which enables the team to consider roles and relationships and how best to manage them. Together, the team will establish the scope of the contract and get clarity over the deliverables, and from that agree how these will be met. We help you to plan how to build relationships with all stakeholder contacts at every level and to agree how review meetings will run. We also cover dealing with conflict, building rapport and establishing trust in the new relationship. The workshop will provide a strong foundation to get the project off to the best possible start. The 2 day workshop we deliver is based around the 7 capaibility areas required to operate effectively in a Matrix or Complex Environment (MaCE) which most projects tend to operate within. We also design bespoke workshops to meet client requirements if the MaCE workshop is not suitable and the client needs to focus on specifc areas relevant to their sitiuation. The seven capability areas are:

• Ambiguity Management
• Relationship Intelligence
• Stakeholder Alignment
• Political Intelligence
•  Conflict Handling
• Leadership Accountability
• Interpreneurial Creativity
