Bleiker's Art of Consent Building

a.k.a. The art and science of getting your mission accomplished . . .

especially when that mission is difficult and controversial

If you're like most managers working in the public sector, you find it frustratingly difficult to get your projects implemented. You and your team consistently do the best job you can planning, and yet all too often your work gets stalled, . . . watered-down, . . . shelved, . . . vetoed, . . . compromised out of shape, . . . stopped or torpedoed . . .

However, our research showed that there is a tiny percentage of managers, engineers, scientists and other professionals who never experience this kind of frustration. Virtually all of their proposals are implemented without delay.  Their projects are NOT stalled, . . . NOT watered down, . . . NOT shelved, . . . NOT compromised, . . . NOT stopped or torpedoed.  Their proposals are IMPLEMENTED. 

The difference between these two groups of professionals is that those who get projects implemented understand the art of Consent-Building.  We call these managers "Implementation Geniuses," and we have -- for the last 30+ years researched their Consent-Building methods. 

Today we TEACH the Consent-Building strategies Implementation Geniuses use.  Managers who learn the art of Consent-Building become very effective at implementing even the most controversial projects, programs, plans and proposals.

The art of Consent-Building can be learned. Let Hans & Annemarie Bleiker of the Institute for Participatory Management and Planning (IPMP) teach you.

Our various management courses are actually a FRONT.... Our courses are a front for teaching the stuff we're really interested in teaching you:

  • How to make government MORE EFFECTIVE....
  • How to enhance your employees' "Quality-of-Work-Life", and how to bring out EXCELLENCE and PRODUCTIVITY in their performance....
  • How to restore and enhance TRUST & CREDIBILITY between the public, the professional staffs of agencies, and the political decision-makers....
