Techniques, tools and experiences for developing appropriate and effective organisation structures and design
Overview
Whilst many HR functions have recently improved the management and development of their talent, organisation design and development have often received less attention. Academics including Dave Ulrich and Ed Lawler have recently suggested that HR may be placing too much emphasis on talent management at the expense of organisation design.
Many organisations are now starting to realise that efforts to improve the capability and engagement of their talent will have limited impact unless the organisational context provides talent with the opportunity to contribute towards business objectives and to use their potential.
We will review techniques, tools and experiences for developing appropriate and effective organisation structures, designing business processes, managing culture change, leveraging knowledge and developing social networks, all in order to ensure that organisations give business leaders the best possible opportunity to implement their business strategies and also provide a conducive environment for employees and teams to maximise their contribution.
The workshop will also consider how each of the areas of organisation design are currently being influenced by changes in the business environment, workforce requirements and other factors and how these are likely to affect organisations in the future.
Who Should Attend?
- VPs, Directors and managers of HR, Learning, and Organisation Development
- HR business partners and other HR staff wanting to contribute more broadly to organisational effectiveness
- Business leaders with responsibility for the effectiveness of their own organisations
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course you will:
- Understand that there are alternatives in all areas of organisation design
- Have reviewed recent changes in organisational forms
- Be able to ensure that structures, processes, culture and social networks are aligned with business strategies
- Be able to apply organisation design tools to help their organisations prepare for the future rather than simply just meet business objectives today
