Questi seminari hanno l’obiettivo di favorire lo sviluppo di competenze legate all’efficace condivisione e comunicazione di conoscenza tra i membri di un team e tra individui e altri attori organizzativi.

PROGRAMMA SINTETICO

I seminari si focalizzano sui seguenti argomenti:

  • Le competenze del futuro.
  • Integrare la conoscenza collaborando.
  • Influenza e conflitto
