We live in an ever-changing business environment, with disruption and the need for change coming from all sides. Today’s senior HR practitioner needs to be fully aware of the critical role design and development play in contributing to the success of the organisation.
Organisation Design is the process of shaping an organisational structure to align it with the purpose of the business. A re-design can be triggered by the need to improve service delivery or specific business processes, or as a result of a new mandate. Organisational Development is the comprehensive and systematic process aimed at improving the overall effectiveness of an organisation. It involves intervening in its processes, structure and culture, with a strong emphasis on organisational behaviour, human resource development and organisational change. Organisational design can be viewed as an organisational development intervention and the two work hand-in-hand.
But for any design and development project to succeed, the organisation must make its changes as effectively and painlessly as possible and in a manner that aligns with its strategy, invigorates employees, builds distinctive capabilities, and makes it easier to attract customers.
This programme will equip HR professionals with the knowledge needed to guide their organisation through this complex and strategically critical process.
