Designing Leadership Teams in the Operating Model
Join an ODF Community Conversation
April 14 | 11 AM – 12 PM (ET)
Designing Leadership Teams
in the Operating Model
Leadership teams are critical integration points in any organization — yet their collaboration and decision-making are often shaped more by personalities than by intentiona
l design. When governance at the top is unclear, strategic tensions go unresolved and accountability slows.
In this Community Conversation, Christie Irizarry, Founder & Principal of Irizarry Consulting, will explore how to design leadership teams as an intentional element of the operating model. Participants will examine how to define the team’s decision scope and authority boundaries, and how to build a governance model that enables strategic execution. Through a practical case exercise, attendees will apply practical frameworks and tools to redesign leadership team governance for greater organizational impact.
