Organisation Design is the analysis of the difference between an organisation鈥檚 current state and where it needs to be in future, and a strategy for closing this gap. As such, it is a crucial part of an organisation鈥檚 success. Leaders and managers have an important role to play in organisation design as they sit at the heart of an organisation and understand the issues and challenges it faces.
The overall aim of this stack of modules is to equip you with an understanding of organisation design and how to apply this within organisations. The Bronze, Silver and Gold modules will give you an understanding of a number of diagnostic frameworks for organisation design, traditional and contemporary approaches to the designs themselves and will support you in learning how to apply these via a series of case studies and exercises.
Who is this for?
- Leaders, managers, human resource management professionals and organisation design practitioners who would like support in their understanding of organisation design, to allow them to evaluate different approaches and designs in the context of their organisation.
