ABOUT THE SESSION

An operating model enables an organization to compete effectively. It expresses an organization’s competitive strategy. It supports the development and delivery of required strategic capability. It shapes behavior and decision-making processes. It is a strategic, priority issue that is increasingly landing on the desk of the CEO.

A key role of leadership is to facilitate the development, execution, and continued calibration of an operating model. The development process is called organization design. Yet, many organizations do not have substantive design skill. Common design processes often fail to change the basic character of operations and culture. Trendy management topics that attract leadership attention frequently distract from the basics of a “fit-for-purpose” operating model. These, and topics like them, will be explored in an interactive session with members of Colorado Springs SHRM.

Attendees will leave this session having gained:

• A deeper appreciation for what organization design is and is not
• Substantive considerations of the role that HR can play
• An understanding of the key differences and outcomes differentiating expert-led design from process-led design
• A practical understanding of the most significant mistakes made today when changing an operating model
