Next spring, the Association for the Management of Organization Design

conference on how to design new ventures, featuring some of the most
important organization designers of our day. The conference will address
ways to consciously create and manage the structures, management systems,
organization culture, and processes that work best for new ventures and
the new organizations we see so much of today.
This unique conference addresses many of the issues that managers and

working closely with many leading new businesses. General topics include:
- Designing for growth and sustainability

Among the speakers are:
- Jay Galbraith, considered one of the world's leading experts in
organization design, whose most recent book is Designing the Global
Corporation;
- Elliott Jacques, author of over 20 books, along side with Tom Helton, U.S.
Stationers;

start-ups;
