The Organization Design Forum invites you to clear your calendar for
April 14 thru April 16 and plan to attend our 2004 annual conference
at the historic Palmer House in Chicago, IL. The theme for this
year’s conference is “ Benchmarking the Future of Organization
Design”
Our 2004 conference looks at the ‘best of the best’ in
organization design - the best practitioners, the best practices, and
the best examples of effectively designed organizations. We will be
addressing questions such as:
- Who is doing organization design today?
- What companies/organizations excel at organization design, and use
it for competitive advantage?
- As we get greater complexity and scope in the designs of our
businesses with global structures, cross-organization designs, and
complex networks of partnering organization - What are the benchmark
designs that work and why?
- What are the benchmark practices for developing skills and learning
in the people who are doing the design and implementation work?
Confirmed speakers include
Dick Axelrod - leading a session on “How To Do Wonders With An
Idea: Building Creativity and Commitment Into The Design Process”
Stu Winby – former H-P Director leading a session on design issues
