design projects
Key tools to use in the designing process.
The importance of designing
around value and questions
leaders need to ask.
Delivered virtually over one day this module is based on lived experience of leading organisations. It’s focus is to help leaders understand their role when working with organisation design practitioners to deliver and operate a new organisation design.
The module will include practical hands on experiential learning, light touch teaching, and peer discussions. To support the reflectors and non-native English speakers pre-readings will be provided in advance in preparation for the programme and discussions.
Participants will explore the link between strategy and design before discovering how the key tensions highlighted by the Koestenbaum Leadership Diamond® and the idea of Use of Self can impact the successful delivery of a project. Participants will then apply The Tricord an organisation diagnostic and design model to a case study to help build a systemic understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the case organisation. Lastly we will use the Conner Commitment Model to explore the leadership role in holding peoples anxieties for change and to recognise the greater need for commitment than compliance
