Organization Design: Designing for Effectiveness and Efficiency
22 April, 2009 | (01 hr)
Now more than ever, leaders are looking to configure their organizations to both win strategically and lower costs simultaneously. This might seem like an untenable balance to achieve, but more and more organizations are learning to build and enhance strategic capabilities at the same time they are cutting costs. The key is to understand the concepts and tools of strategic organization design. With these tools, organizations have shown how they can achieve growth during good economic times that surpasses the general market and can exceed performance expectations during economic downturns.
This webcast will discuss:
- The importance of having strategic clarity and agreement around the organization's trade-offs.
- How organization can identify and build differentiating capabilities that will deliver the strategy.
- How leaders can stratify work to focus limited resources on differentiating capabilities while cutting costs in other "non-strategic" areas.
- A real world example of how one organization has worked to achieve both an effective and efficient organization design.
