Business Model Transformation
More and more business leaders are expressing a need to reinvent or redesign their business models as a way to leapfrog competition and sustain a competitive edge. While there are lots of examples of how to redefine a compelling marketplace position, truly successful business model transformation is about organization design–designing and aligning the choices and systems of the organization to drive strategy and make the company’s business model a reality. This webcast series will address this dynamic topic in two sessions. The first session will focus on how to create an innovative business model. The second session will focus on how to build internal capabilities in organization design to help organizations implement and sustain business model changes. Both sessions will be headlined by leading organizations that are in the trenches redefining their business models and building internal capability to implement and sustain the transformation long-term.
Audience: Executives charged with leading or providing support to organization design or re-design initiatives within their companies, Change Leaders, Change Practitioners and anyone responsible for effecting change within a department or across an entire organization.
