The Matrix Political Influencing Workshop

Organisational politics is one of the least openly talked about, yet pervasive realities of organisational life that can either help or hinder personal, collective or organisational performance. There is significant research that confirms negative political behaviour is not only more prevalent in organisations that experience high levels of ambiguity, complexity or change; but increases when it is not proactively and positively managed, irrespective of the structure. And which typically results in low team performance and morale, and high instances of absence and stress related illnesses.

The Matrix Political Influencing Workshop enables people to not only gain tools, tips and techniques that enable them to gain a more positive perspective towards workplace politics. The workshop also allows people to re-position organisational politics as an advanced influencing skill that anyone can develop and thereby become more politically savvy, astute and aware. This knowledge then enables people to be much more confident and effective when working across different types of political landscapes, when responsible for the delivery of inter-dependent organisational goals, projects, processes or initiatives, or even a personal agenda.

People attending the Matrix Political Influencing Workshop can expect to leave with:

  • A positive appreciation of workplace politics and how it can be used as an enabler
  • An understanding of their own political intelligence™ level and how others might view them politically
  • An understanding of how political they perceive their own organisation to be
  • The ability to identify and influence different types of ‘political animal’ in their organisation
  • Tools, tips and techniques that will enable them to approach different types of conflict more confidently

1 intensive Day. This Workshop can also be integrated with other Matrix Workshops or topics to create a similarly unique program.
