Success in a matrix requires particular attention to certain key skills, including collaboration, decision making, conflict resolution, communication, influence, and performance management. In this program, learners will explore the function and importance of a matrix structure and its impact on how individuals work and how leaders get results. Learners will focus on reducing silos and sub- groups within the organization and applying existing skills in new ways to improve cross-functional, cross-departmental, and cross-geographical work performance.
