How to Win in “Design by Committee” Situations

Design by Committee situations are difficult at best but there are successful strategies and tactics that are proven to work.  In this webinar we will explore what is involved in gaining approval, how to recognize different working styles and different personality styles in order to gain approval. We will talk about teaming and how important it is to create an informal teaming relationship with clients/board members. While it can often be perceived as a complex process, it can become second nature to get approval and buy-in to your ideas whether a committee or team or non-decision maker representative. We will give you the tools to practice your new skills to assist in being more successful and fulfilled!
