With today’s rapidly changing world, companies, too, are facing organizational changes. In the past, there were typically one, or a few senior managers or "owners" who made the bulk of the strategic decisions for the organization, and then took care of implementation. Today, the reality is different:
· With more professional managers, the challenge for companies is attracting the best talent. This calls for “flatter” organizations, less “bureaucracy”, more speed.
· More focus on specific, often more complex projects. This calls for finding ways to incorporate key experts without creating “primadonnas”.
· The frightened competition, calls for more rapid, effective implementation, often with more focus on teamwork across disciplines.
The focus on organizational design issues to achieve today’s competitive success implies:
· Reassessing the value chain for a more strategic focus.
· More focused organizational design, given today’s needs for more attractive work-places.
· Integrating functional competencies between various businesses and countries.
· Making the organizational culture more adaptive, less bureaucratic and speedier.
Managers faced with organizational design issues will profit in particular from enrolling in this. These executives typically come from the firm's top echelons. This program is also for line managers, particularly when set to achieve better cooperation across functions. Those responsible for the Human Resources function will also benefit. The program will draw on diverse participant experiences.
· Insights on relevant current organization design options for companies.
· Ability to see the cognitive limits in an organization that restrict the decision-maker, if there is too much change at once.
· Understand the trend, and limitations, of building up staff support functions for each major business and/or country.
