Get the Lawyers Out of the Way: Project Managing Negotiations Through Execution

Session 2

Modern Work Manifesto

Work is broken. We point to the pandemic as the cause, but the reality is work was broken far before we all learned to work from home. To fix work we need to fundamentally change the way we approach it…we need something to rally us together…we need a manifesto! During this hands-on workshop we’ll dive into the principles that shape the Modern Work Manifesto, such as flow and adaptability. Discover how to implement the manifesto in your work by incorporating three practical techniques that you can begin applying as early as tomorrow. Viva la Modern Work!​
