GETTING RESULTS WITHOUT AUTHORITY™

This is our flagship programme based on over 30 years of research and practical experience in over 70 countries. This course is designed to help individuals and organisations to survive – and thrive – in matrix and project based organisation structures where authority does not work. as people have to get things done through others who work in different departments or organisations; who do not work directly for them; and who are, in many cases, in a more senior position.  AVAILABLE through licensee Frank Garten BV –  contact Frank direct.

WIN : WIN NEGOTIATING

This workshop looks at the process and skills for achieving win:win results through principled negotiation, based on the work of Chris Argyris, Fisher and Ury and our 30 years of experience. Conflict is inherent in business situations: the inevitable consequence of perceived inequities in emerging situations. Dealing with differences before it becomes destructive is essential for effective working. Our workshops look at the process and skills for achieving win:win results through principled negotiation, based on the work of Chris Argyris, Fisher and Ury and our 30 years of experience.  AVAILABLE through licensee Frank Garten BV –  contact Frank direct
