Become the master facilitator who turns competing agendas into unified action. This intensive simulation teaches you to navigate the complex web of organizational politics where success depends on your ability to broker agreements among stakeholders who fundamentally disagree.
Navigate the treacherous terrain of passive-aggressive power struggles between VPs, hidden agendas in stakeholder workshops, and stakeholders with veto power but no formal accountability. You’ll face the frustration of stakeholders who agree in meetings but block progress in private, consensus paralysis when decisive action is needed, and emotional reactions when roles or budgets change.
Master the art of surfacing unspoken resistance in rooms full of nodding heads, reframing win-lose debates into shared outcomes, and securing informal buy-in before formal votes. Experience the delicate psychology of getting quiet stakeholders to speak up, neutralizing blame-shifting between siloed teams, and turning criticism into productive feedback. Learn when to push forward despite misalignment, adapt facilitation styles across cultures and personalities, and use structured frameworks to avoid opinion deadlock.
Your success transforms you from meeting participant to the person others call when alignment seems impossible.
