Webinar description
Organizational design is no longer confined to annual restructurings or top-down directives. In today’s fast-paced environment, agility, collaboration, and alignment are essential. In this collaboration with ODF, we will share how companies are increasingly bringing org design in-house, making it crucial to master both strategic org design (SOD) for mid- to long-term transformation and operational org design (OOD) for day-to-day optimizations.
To balance big-picture vision with rapid, tactical execution, the solution is a flexible, intuitive platform that unifies both approaches, empowering in-house OD teams, HRBPs, and line managers to make data-driven decisions and adapt in real time, with the right level of tool depth.
In this 60-minute session, we’ll show how Nakisa’s AI-powered org design software combines SOD and OOD in an intuitive, unified platform, enabling a distributed yet integrated approach to org design.
