Institutional Politics Institute: Building Cross-Campus Support for Advancement

April 19 - 20, 2012
CASE
Washington, D.C., United States

The Institutional Politics Institute has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

“If I just didn’t have to deal with the politics and could just do my job!”

Many of us spend as much as half our time dealing with big egos, threatened personalities, entrenched silos, autocratic administrators, personal career agendas, unanticipated jealousies and more, as we struggle to do what we know how to do for our institutions.

Sorry, the bad news is there is no way out of it!  And what’s more, it’s the one course never offered in school, or at CASE… before now.

The faculty of the  Institutional Politics Institute will review the hard lessons they learned over the years about getting support for what advancement is capable of doing, and then lead a series of interactive sessions to help you develop a game plan for dealing with your specific problems and concerns.

This workshop is part of a series of events held at CASE in Washington, D.C.
