The demands, opportunities and choices confronting organizations are increasingly complex and tangled. Leaders are faced with difficult, seemingly paradoxical challenges and often reliant on an outdated toolkit.
In complex environments, how do you scale and remain agile? How do we automate and keep people engaged in meaningful work? How do you organize for speed and keep pace with customer needs? At ODF 2018, we’ll explore these questions facing organizations.
As open-minded, inquiry-driven org designers, we recognize the need to seek ideas from “outside the box,” and build a rich toolbox of design approaches and methods. Organization Design continues to evolve along with the organizations we serve in creating resilient, versatile, adaptive and innovative organizations.
Join a group of experienced, committed, passionate practitioners to learn and share the needs and solutions that advance organizational capacities to more nimbly adapt and innovate.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column border_color=”#153865″ width=”4/12″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]

SYNGINEERING: BUILDING AGILITY INTO EVERY ORGANIZATION

RICH THAYER, ZTC Consulting

This session illustrates how to select among the four most common design methods based on what is the best fit-for-purpose given the specific combination of a business’s landscape, strategy and culture. The workshop also demonstrates how to build agility into the design process for greater sustainability, rather than bolting it on afterwards.
