Essentials Series Organisational Design and Redesign for future success Speaker – Dr Naomi Stanford 10.00 for 10.15 until 4.30 on 24th June 2010 at One Whitehall Place, London SW1A 2HE
Predominantly based in systems models current approaches to organization design follow a phased process of assessing current state, defining future state, gauging the gap between the two and planning how to get from current to future in the belief that once at the future state the outcome will be business success Four factors are putting pressure on the systems approach to organization design: -Availability of skills, expertise, knowledge to work -Social expectations of what business organizations are for -Technology advances on all fronts -Education of managers and leaders
This session discusses the impact of these factors on organization designs and suggests a different way of ‘doing’ organization design. Using a case study approach participants will learn to apply: • Principles for positioning organization design as a business capability required by line managers
