About this title

Synopsis

It is widely recognised that the way organisations are designed to deliver has a profound effect not only on their ability to execute their strategy successfully, but also on the rapid identification and realisation of factors that will affect their overall performance and continued success, such as:

• entrepreneurial opportunities;
• the creation of fulfilling, meaningful client and employee experiences;
• optimal resource deployment and utilisation;
• the healthiness of its culture and dynamics.

Organisations can indeed compete by design.

The purpose of Designing Fit-for-Purpose Organisations is to give readers insight into Organisational Design (OD) as a key executive leadership task: the Where, Why, Whereto, When, Who, What, and How of OD. The book comprehensively covers the practice of OD as critical organisational discipline. Designing Fit-for-Purpose Organisations will empower readers with the tools to architect fit-for-purpose organisational operating models for a hyper-turbulent, hyper-fluid and hyper-connected world.
