Some of the more difficult design challenges occur after the organization chart has been communicated.  Activating a design successfully, that results in sustainable competitive advantage, is a formidable task.

In this highly interactive, practical program, participants will learn how to apply and leverage activation-related frameworks in addition to the frameworks and tools learned in the Strategic Organization Design workshop.  Real life case studies will be used to highlight applications.

  • – Apply a systems-thinking approach to activation
  • – Orchestrate identification and activation of effective lateral connections
  • – Address micro-design challenges related to management processes, rewards, and people
  • – Ensure effective design governance and change management to activate and sustain the changes
  • – Understand how to influence and manage design fatigue and resistance
  • – This course is especially beneficial for individuals or teams who are currently working on design activation.
