We manage our organisations as well as we can. Do others know about it?
The workshop will be led by two experienced managers who have had to deal withthis issue.
Get inspiration and talk about it:
- How to build our company’s position in an international structure, or our department within a large company.
- How to get interesting projects that we can’t decide on ourselves.
- How to behave and assert ourselves in an environment where others make decisions about us or we depend on each other.
Short and long game
- Short term: getting investment, project approval
- Medium and long term: building internal brand, building relationship, building trust
Player analysis
- Owners, captains, referees
- Goals, interests, relationships, competencies

Force fields
- Who plays with us, who plays against us, who plays “in the other group”

- It will be decided by others anyway and elsewhere without us
- Carousel of urgency: I deal mainly with the operative
