Overview

In today's uncertain climate, many organisations are turning to workgroups, cross-functional teams, task forces and special project teams in order to be faster and more flexible and to share resources across the organisation.

This course breaks down the characteristics of managing in different types of matrixed environments and introduces you to the principles and processes needed to ensure success when leading matrix-managed teams. You will have the opportunity to evaluate yourself against the four key skills of a matrix manager and then align the application of those skills to the four key challenges of matrix teams. Finally, you will develop your own stakeholder map, analyse each stakeholder according to their level of power and interest, and apply a well-known influencing model to your most important stakeholder relationships.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
