Q: What’s the most frequent complaint
about matrix organizations?

A: How long it takes to make decisions & take action.

Leaders in all types of matrix organizations struggle with the time it takes to build alignment around key decisions and the rework triggered by conflicting objectives.

  • Why do some teams and leaders operate more effectively and rapidly in the matrix than others?
  • What do they do differently?

The speed and agility of a matrix organization is a direct reflection of the leaders’ skills and mindset.

Join Amanda Young Hickman (LinkedIn profile), Founding Partners for  Insight Experience, to hear how her clients are developing leaders with a different approach to the matrix.

Amanda will share with you the perspective, influence and communication skills they develop and how they practice those skills in a dynamic business simulation in order to be more effective back on the job.

Leaders make all the difference in the speed and effectiveness of a matrix.

Spend an hour with Amanda and  learn how.
