Participants
This is a program for optimally structuring the organization of your company. It is meant for executives and decision-makers who are responsible for optimal organizational structures.
Seminar
This seminar teaches the latest knowledge about how strategies, structuring business areas and structures related to corporate culture and management all fit together. A strategy that promises success is the basis for a sensible organizational structure. First when it's clear where a company is going, can sensible structural variations be developed and assessed. The seminar helps you mentally simulate the best-possible structural form for your company or business division.
Focus
By structuring a company into business areas and business units, we shape the fundamental logic behind how the organization operates day-to-day. With an organizational structure, we define tasks and competency areas that belong together. But by building collaborative areas, divisions and departments, we are also dividing – with logical consequences for the thinking and activities of our staff. This threatens to diminish a sense of unity within the company, customer orientation and result-orientation in favor of "departmental thinking." Many examples from the business world show that dividing up business fields and creating organizational structures influence the evolution of a company far more than strategy, for instance.
Benefits
By participating in this seminar, you will acquire insights into the areas of strategy, formation of fields of business and about high-performance organizations, which are the basis of effective organizational structuring. You will learn how to design a structure for a company or a business division, which supports and decisively influences pre-defined strategies.
