Presented by Lisa DiTullio

Conflict among teams is probably the quickest and most direct way to disrupt team harmony. And yet, many of us prefer to avoid conflict rather than confront it and move on. When teams acknowledge they will face conflict, find simple ways to deal with conflict, and move on, they are likely to take conflict in stride rather than be derailed by it.
The art of Fogging is a simple practice which enables team members to address conflict head-on, preventing the situation from escalating into something destructive that causes long-term damage to relationships and teamwork.

Today’s organizations want their people to be strategic minded – to be able to jump out of the weeds every once in a while and think about where they are going and how they are going to get there. Sounds easy, but it isn’t. This session helps us understand the why, how and what’s in it for me.
ProjectBites sponsored events do not provide presentation slide decks and videos as post event resources.
