Class Description

This course will help you and your fellow participants get “real” about the pitfalls of poorly designed organizations and the challenges in determining the right fit for an organization's strategy. It is designed to show how organizational structures enable or prevent information flow, responsiveness, and innovation.

Topics covered include: the theory and tools of organization design work (including organizational strategic alignment), a language for organizational roles and relationships, the tests of good organization design and tools for defining decision responsibilities.

Special focus would also be placed on the process of organization redesign and change – the steps of good analysis and decision making, who should be involved and when, how long it should take and the relationship to effectiveness, how change should be communicated, and the roles involved in the process.
