Org Design in Practice
Bringing Organization Planning & Analysis (OP&A) to Life
Jill Dobbe – Director, Acct Management
and
Kristie Tran – Director, Professional Services
with Orgvue
Organizations typically deploy organization design and workforce planning as two independent disciplines, yet we believe the two intersect to bring OP&A to life.
As OD professionals, we understand the value of both organizational design and workforce planning. In practice, however, it is often seen as two separate disciplines and implemented as such. This session will demonstrate the importance of integrating both through Organization Planning & Analysis (OP&A).
Participants will gain practical tools and learn how to break down work performed, identify root cause, design roles, and aggregate demand to better position modeling and org design.
