Organizational Redesign

In today’s climate of constant change, strategic success formulas don’t last long; they can be instantly copied and improved upon by competitors who use them to surpass an organization in the marketplace. Ongoing assessment and proactive redesign of processes, teams and structures help an organization quickly respond to market and customer demands.

Leaders who have a finger on the pulse of today’s competitive needs have moved beyond the old way of seeing reconfiguration as a method of “fixing something that is wrong” or as an intervention that will require huge upheaval. Being reconfigurable requires that leaders challenge and capitalize on associates’ capabilities and support their learning and growth so that they too can readily respond when opportunities arise.

This module provides a series of tools to help leaders assess the current structure of their organization and, when appropriate, effectively redesign it to meet customer needs and achieve strategic goals.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn concepts and principles of organizational design
• Assess the effectiveness of current design
• Identify strategic objectives & assess gaps in the current structure
• Understand structural- and process-based concepts
• Identify supportive processes and lateral linkages
• Clarify roles, responsibilities, and ownership
• Determine operating processes and performance management plan
• Apply the design-change-implementation process
