In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, it is more important than ever for organizations to be fit for purpose. This implies taking ownership of your org design to provide the desired organizational capabilities (e.g., adaptability). We have developed a practical two-day course for executives, managers, and consultants to learn about org design and its application. 

The course will give you the skills to design, assess, and maintain any ecosystem. We discuss revolutionary organizational designs with Business Agility at the enterprise-wide level to solve complicated challenges. We teach how to create high-performing organizations within your existing context without implementing new frameworks.

Whatever direction of development is suitable for your context, after the training, you will know how to make your organization more focused, allowing you to stay relevant for your customers and stakeholders in the long run.
