Political activity in organisations is on the increase and the ability to understand and navigate the political dimension is vital for effective Change Management. This workshop and masterclass has been designed with this in mind - to focus on building our competence at "Influencing Others".

Colin Gautrey will be conducting a workshop and masterclass specifically designed for the CMI. Colin is an expert in this domain and has many insights and experiences which can help us all to manage change more effectively. He is co-author of "21 Dirty Tricks at Work" and "Political Dilemmas at Work" and is an adjunct faculty member of the Australian Graduate School of Management. See here for more on Colin.

The workshop in the morning will help you to understand political activity in your workplace and provide insight into practical things that you can do to respond to this. In the afternoon, the masterclass will help you to learn how to tap into the power within your organisation, and to manage your influence strategically.

The morning Workshop will help you to understand political activity in your workplace and provide insight into practical things that you can do to become more successful. This session will explore the realm and help you to identify specific tactics that others use to frustrate your endeavour. It will provide you with some best practice approaches to minimising the damage and helping move your agenda forward with integrity.
