Building Teamwork and Stakeholder Management (Classroom, 3 days)

About

The purpose of this course is to create a new level of teamwork awareness and increase participants’ ability to work with others, in a collaborative and effective fashion, while continually building teamwork within their organization. Participants will learn how to build trust with peers and plan strategies to manage stakeholder interaction and engagement. Through the Harvard Business Publishing Change Management simulation, participants experiment with different strategies for effective change management and explore power, influence and resistance to change while attempting to persuade key members of an organization to adopt a change initiative.
