Manager of Managers (MoM) seminars
The role of an MoM in your organization
The key linchpin between the executive team and the operational teams, the manager of managers plays a vital, but complex role, exerting and influencing action on several different levels:
- Development of the strategic vision.
- Anticipation, followed by pertinent and agile deployment of the operational changes required in order to maintain performance levels in an ever more complex context.
- Management of a department and of a team of managers.
- Furthermore, the relational and influence capacities, the political sensibilities, networking, etc. all require a new “distribution” of one’s activities and the acquisition of new aptitudes for communicating with other managers, cross functional departments and external stakeholders.
- Delivery of an MoM program requires the choice of specially selected, trained facilitators.
- One important prerequisite for effective delivery: facilitators who are seen as senior and credible by participants.
- Key credibility criteria: management experience in a major group and familiarity with the professional universe in question.
Our programs are designed specifically with this population in mind and revolve around the following themes:
The key elements of an MoM training program:
Innovative approaches proposed by Vivacci:
- Performance Audit: after a few months/years in a job, people tend to lose their keen beginner’s eye and it can be beneficial to regularly perform a full audit of one’s BU/department.
- Feedback 360°: comparing one’s image of oneself with that of one’s entourage opens the door to a form of awareness that can “boost” the manager’s development process.
- Lumina Spark: a new psychometric tool that provides a personalized analysis in order to optimize communication, management, leadership and team consolidation.
- Strategic intent memo: a means of clarifying the collective efforts expected by an MoM in line with the company’s strategic vision.
- Peer co-coaching between seminars: in pairs, the participants challenge one another about their strategic intent memo.
