DESCRIPTION:

This half-day workshop is designed to assist HR leaders in their key role as business partner and internal consultant to guide leaders in selecting the most appropriate organizational structures. Typically, leaders make structural decisions too soon, consider only a few options, and forget about fully implementing the new structure. Sometimes the organizational design hinders, rather than helps, the business achieve its goals. The lack of implementation follow-through also causes role confusion, lost time, and uncompleted work.

HR leaders in their role as business partner help leaders succeed in developing strategy, aligning resources and executing effectively. Structure is a key part of the alignment activities which build on solid strategy development. The structure option chosen will 1) match strategic decisions have been made and 2) facilitate the essential core processes of the business.

The workshop will provide a core model, a series of steps, and specific tools that HR business partners can use to consult with leaders to:

• Understand when and how to define the structure
• Explore structure options for different business strategies
• Use a tool to define the needed strategy
• Take steps to build structure and staff it
• Plan the transition to the new structure
