Presented by David Mantica, President, ASPE Training
As organizations flatten to meet the dramatic impacts that disruption and change are having on business, the dynamics of influence are changing rapidly.

This presentation will explain why organizations have started to flatten and how professionals can successfully navigate any organization type. We will compare matrix, command and control, and bottom up influence.
