Work Day 17 (4/03) Makassar - Presenting our Recommendations


Our last day with our client, the city of Makassar's Transportation Agency.  Our last presentation was a training session on "Leading Change".  The purpose was to help the agency understand how, what and why leading change can help influence decisions and affect proposed improvements to the agency leadership.  Many on the team want to make changes, but many decision are politically based and tied to funding requests, or prevent approval for funding. Leading change was about how to effect decision makers by providing a framework and tips for influencing and persuading positive change both up and down the chain.
