Organization design is a critical organizational capability in today’s dynamic global economy. Org-ology is pleased to present the comprehensive organization design course accredited by the International Organizational Design Community (ODC) program for those interested in acquiring this important competency.
Organization design has been a focus of research and teaching at Org-ology for the past 20 years. Org-ology work has consisted of numerous studies that have explored, defined, and assessed new organizational forms and corporate structures that have spanned decades in which economy disruptions, globalization and today’s knowledge-based economy are defined by. Org-ology researchers have contributed some of the foundational research on high performance systems; team-based organizations and other lateral designs, collaboration; self-forming and planned networks; inter-organizational designs, organizing for knowledge leadership; customer focused designs; global designs; and, most recently, designs for agility and sustainability.
A fundamental of our design program and research is that organizations must consider the impact of their design choices not only on business performance, but also on employees, customers, and the communities and societies in which they operate. Since 2010, Org-ology has also viewed a time dimension to the understanding of organization design, as organizations have to confront the challenges of sustainability and agility. They must build designs that can foster high performance into the future in the areas of financial, social, and ecological outcomes.
Many organizations have multiple graduates of the program. Our organization design training program has also attracted an international group of companies from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
A number of corporations have established partnerships with Org-ology to help them design more extensive in-house organization design capabilities. These partnerships may entail a mixture of sending multiple people to gain organization design training or in our public programs, in-house tailored design workshops, shadow consulting to some global organization design projects, the development of company specific cases, organization design cases.
