This transversal leadership training is for profiles who must engage contributors without direct hierarchical power: project leaders, business leads, program managers, support functions in coordination mode. Over two days, you work on legitimacy, influence, alignment and multi party complexity management. A skill now central in matrix organizations.<\/p>\n
Without formal authority, clarity and listening make authority<\/strong><\/p>\n For profiles in matrix organizations in French speaking Switzerland, the challenge is concrete: advance a subject when contributors don’t depend on you. The course relies on real cases (transverse project, multi team deployment, transformation) and offers a practical grid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","editeurs":[2126],"domaine":[1283,1286],"class_list":["post-14839","formations","type-formations","status-publish","hentry","editeurs-managers-en","domaine-soft-skills","domaine-team-and-people-management"],"acf":{"reference":"TEAM-LEA","duree_nombre":1,"duree_unite":"jour","prix_virtuel":800,"prix_presentiel":800,"prix_blended":"","prix_elearning":"","views":1971,"niveau":["Fondamental"],"role":["Manager"],"certifiant":"","pdus":"","lieux":["Gen\u00e8ve","Lausanne"],"formats_dapprentissage":["presentiel","virtuel"],"examen_inclus":"Non certifiant","garanti":[""],"financement":["Temptraining"],"description_temptraining":"","description_caf":"","description_title":"Master Transversal Leadership Training","objectifs":" Current organizations function largely in matrix mode: transverse projects, programs, transformations. The role of leader without hierarchical authority has multiplied without classic management training devoting specific attention. This course fills the gap. In Geneva and Lausanne, the course welcomes many project leaders, technical leads and program managers.<\/p>\n Transversal leadership rests on different levers from hierarchical management: meaning, expertise, relation, method. The course details these levers and specific pitfalls (false hierarchical conflict, over solicitation, isolation). A reading that often clarifies a role experienced as fuzzy and changes daily posture.<\/p>\n Without title, legitimacy is earned. The course works concrete sources: subject mastery, listening quality, commitment reliability, framing quality. With personal diagnosis on strong and weak sources, and an action plan to reinforce them durably.<\/p>\n The transverse leader mobilizes influence levers: argue, federate, build coalitions, value contributions. The course details these levers pragmatically without manipulative slip. A finesse making the difference between a respected leader and a leader bypassed by contributors.<\/p>\n A transverse project succeeds when stakeholders share a readable common objective. The course offers concrete tools (actor mapping, sponsor framing, alignment committee) and practices use on your cases. An often rushed step yet decisive on project trajectory.<\/p>\n Transverse generates priority conflicts between hierarchical lines. The course works arbitrage posture (preparation, formulation, useful escalation) and matrix tension management. With opening phrases to carry a difficult decision without breaking the relation.<\/p>\n Project leaders, technical leads, program managers, transformation, change managers, support functions in pilot mode. In Geneva and Lausanne, the course welcomes participants from international organizations, banking, pharma industry, public sector and growing SMEs.<\/p>\n You identify your legitimacy levers in your current perimeter, mobilize the right influence tools per concerned contributors, animate a useful alignment committee, and carry a difficult arbitrage without breaking the relation. You leave with a stakeholder mapping, an action plan for the next three months and reusable canvases (sponsor framing, contributor brief, committee agenda).<\/p>\n At ITTA centers in Geneva and Lausanne, this course runs over two days with a transformation expert trainer. Format with concise theory, workshops on your real cases, framing role plays and final presentation. Each participant leaves with a reworked project file. Format alternates short framework inputs, individual workshop time on your real project, peer feedback and a final structured presentation. Beyond the course, you keep stakeholder mapping templates, sponsor framing canvases and a personal action plan covering the three coming months of your transverse project.<\/p>\n A transformation project leader who must align five business directions without hierarchical power. A technical lead piloting contributors from three different teams. A program manager arbitrating contradictory priorities between BUs. The course addresses these three type situations with structured rework on the project brought by each participant.<\/p>\n This course combines well with change management (course 14359) for transformation dimension, team management (course 14367) for managerial foundations, and difficult conversation (course 14362) for tense arbitrages. Many participants enroll in one of these courses.<\/p>\n Transversal leaders often run on goodwill alone, with high risk of exhaustion. The course briefly opens this dimension with techniques to protect your bandwidth: stakeholder triage, structured no, sponsor mobilization, and clear handover when the project lands.<\/p>\n Matrix organizations have become the default in most large structures, with project, business and functional lines coexisting. Transversal leadership is no longer a niche skill, it is a survival kit for anyone advancing a complex subject. The course frames this shift and gives the operational tools to thrive in it rather than endure it.<\/p>\n For which profiles?<\/strong><\/p>\n Project leaders, technical leads, program managers, transformation, support functions in pilot mode, change managers and any role advancing a subject without direct hierarchical authority.<\/p>\n Difference with classic management?<\/strong><\/p>\n Classic combines authority and leadership. Transversal relies only on leadership and method without direct hierarchical lever.<\/p>\n Does it cover program mode?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, multi project programs are integrated. For certified program method, ITTA proposes dedicated courses (PRINCE2, MSP).<\/p>\n Does it integrate remote piloting?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, distributed collaboration specifics (asynchronous, multi-timezone, hybrid teams) are integrated in exercises.<\/p>\n Do we work on personal projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, each participant arrives with an ongoing project. Confidentiality held, personalized debrief.<\/p>\n And if my stakeholders simply refuse to cooperate?<\/strong><\/p>\n The course specifically addresses these situations: friction reformulation, hidden interests identification, structured escalation to sponsor, and conscious choice of what can or cannot advance in current perimeter.<\/p>\n What follows?<\/strong><\/p>\n For more, ITTA proposes courses on change management, team management and difficult conversation.<\/p>\n What about transversal leadership in distributed teams?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, the specifics of distributed and asynchronous teams are integrated: time-zone management, asynchronous decision making, written rituals, virtual relational quality.<\/p>\n How to stay credible without quick wins?<\/strong><\/p>\n The course addresses this critical question: communicate progress on intermediate signals, document lessons learned, build trust through reliability rather than flashy outputs.<\/p>\n Where do sessions take place?<\/strong><\/p>\n ITTA has three centers: in Geneva (Carouge, Route des Jeunes 35), in Lausanne at the Flon (Rue des C\u00f4tes de Montbenon 16) and at Lausanne Mon-Repos (Avenue de Mon-repos 24). The training is also available in virtual classroom.<\/p>","inclus_dans_ce_cours_virtuel":"\n\t
