Influencing in a Cross-Functional Organization

May 10, 8:30 am-4:00 pm

$650

A cross-functional organization is one where multiple reporting lines exist. This may involve direct line or indirect reporting to one or more individuals.

At their best, cross-functional structures can be creative and high-performing. At their worst, they can be a confusing labyrinth of changing players who lack accountability. The skills and behaviors needed to make management a success require a new emphasis on exceptional people skills and methods for influence.

  • Self-awareness and preparation
  • Establishing clear goals upfront
  • A cohesive narrative for persuasion
  • Anticipating or dealing with pushback
  • Systematic follow through to ensure positive outcomes

Audience

Employees at all levels who need to effectively influence others in order to achieve personal, team, and organizational goals will benefit from this program.

Outcome

  • Identifying personal influencing style, testing out new tactics, and mapping out a territory and relationship blueprint
  • Defining clear outcomes and identifying objectives, obstacles, strategies, and tactics
  • Learning the art of emotional storytelling, elevator pitches, the hook, and how to avoid the curse of knowledge
