A program designed for recently formed teams who wish to design & develop a highly performant organization through the use of Organizational Design & Organizational Development. This program looks at the 3 levels of an organization: high-level organization design, teams & individuals. At each level, there are decisions that need to be made in order to have the organization performing effectively; these decisions will be made throughout the program with the direction & support of expert Organizational Development Consultants & facilitators.
CREATING A PERFORMANT ORGANIZATION
Session 1: Organization Culture as a Competitive Advantage
A strategically aligned culture is the key to organizational success. This module introduces participants to organization culture, the connective tissue that binds together the organization, including shared values & practices, behavior norms, & most importantly: the organization’s orientation towards performance.
Session 2: Setting the Mission, Vision & Values
The very foundation & philosophy of the organization needs to be captured & documented for the team & for new members who join as time passes. This workshop is designed to align & capture the mission, vision & values of the founders so that a strategy can be developed to effectively achieve the mission.
Session 3: Strategy & Execution
Participants will learn how to develop & sustain a culture of execution, build strategy, make group decisions, cascade & align the organization to achieve objectives. Tools used by expert consultants will be shared with the participants to be used by the team any time they need to.
Session 4: Structure – The Right Fit
Flat structure, matrix structure, hierarchy, role-based structures? Which structure fits you? What works, what doesn’t? What has changed, & why are organizations de-layering? These questions will all be answered during the session & teams will select the right structure for their organizations. The rest of the sessions will be customized for each team on how to operate within their chosen structure.
Session 5: Leadership & Management
This session focuses on the behavioral side of leadership & management based on the culture & structure chosen by each participating organization. The right balance between span of accountability (hands off management) vs. span of control (command & control) will be discussed.

This session focuses on getting organized as an organization within the selected design of your structure. We will discuss types of teams, how they function, team design that are highly effective, & tools for building the foundations of teamwork.
Session 7: Rewards – Embracing Human Irrationality
This session will discuss the reward structure that will be implemented in the organization. It will cover the importance & types of rewards as well as when & how to offer rewards. The participants will design their organization rewards program based on the chosen organizational culture & structure, & will design a cascading mechanism to ensure that the whole organization is fully aware of the rewards program at all times.
Session 8: Processes & Policies
This session looks at processes & policies & how they fit within your organization design. What are the processes & policies that create obstacles & which ones facilitate performance? How to monitor worrying trends & why they happen. How to maintain an organization with minimal processes & policies by building a values-driven organization.
