Strategic, well-executed organization design is critical to navigating complexity and maintaining agility. The pressure for organizations to continually adapt has never been greater. Market shifts, digital disruption, and new ways of working make change a constant—and the cost of misalignment steep. Whether it's a full-scale transformation or a targeted structural adjustment, effective organization is essential. 

HR professionals and organizational effectiveness professionals are expected to guide the business through this complexity, align design with strategy, and lead change that drives real results. This hands-on, two-day workshop provides you with the tools and confidence to translate strategy into design - and design into action.

Participants are asked to bring a real organizational design or change project – current, upcoming, or past - to the workshop. You’ll apply the concepts directly to your case, learn from peers tacking similar challenges, and leave with a practical action plan you can implement immediately. 

Grounded in proven frameworks and real-world examples, this workshop walks you through the full organization design process—from diagnosing issues to developing design criteria, selecting structural models, and enabling successful implementation. You’ll also explore how organization design connects to strategy, culture, and sustainable change.
