Innovating Leadership: Co-Creating Our Future S9-Ep9: Is Your Organization Designed for the Future?
Guests: Mark Palmer & Eddie Moore
Forget about future ready; you’re not ready for now!
Most leaders operate at a disadvantage: they don’t have a formal blueprint of their organization. Yet organizational design is vital if you want to be ready for whatever the future brings to your business. From your supply chain to internal communications, organizational design is far, far more than an org chart. In this episode, guests Eddie Moore and Mark Palmer explain how absolutely vital design is in making your business future-ready!
Here's what Mark, Eddie, and Maureen cover:
- What organizational design really is;
- How succession planning is built in to the very fabric of design; and
- The many ways org design future-proofs your team.
