Overview
Successful Organisation Design makes a significant impact on performance, productivity and effectiveness. It is critical that people professionals align their design processes to their organisation’s business model to help it meet its strategic objectives and overcome challenges that may emerge.
This programme shares the tools you need to proactively navigate challenges brought about by a rapid change in systems or environment, such as employment regulations, advancing technologies, ever-increasing cost pressures and turbulent times.

You’ll start by assessing the work that needs to be done to meet key organisational aspirations. Then, you’ll be shown how to design options for aligned organisational systems.
