Introducing Matrix Management 2.0� - the New Game in Town

Take the journey with Leon and Lisa and learn how you can make your matrix organization a success.

Most organizations are still playing the old game � the Vertical Management 1.0 game. You know; the one where you need authority to get things done; where all the power lies with the leaders of the vertical silos; the one that makes working on cross-functional teams difficult. This game has been played for 60 years, and most organizations have a difficult time making it work for them.

Some organizations are choosing a new game to help them improve organizational effectiveness and efficiency, to push them past their competition � Matrix Management 2.0�. In this 4-book series, you�ll learn all about this new game � why you need to play, and what the rules are for playing.

In book one, Leon meets Lisa, a Matrix Management 2.0� consultant, and they begin their journey with a conversation about the old operating system, Vertical Management 1.0, and how it�s no longer adequate to address the challenges Leon faces in his organization. Lisa introduces Leon to the fundamentals of the MM 2.0 operating system, and the 5 keys to making it work. In Book 1, you will learn:
