Building Organisation Design Capability

AI is changing how organisations get work done faster than the usual restructure cycle can keep up. The organisations staying ahead aren’t restructuring more often, they’re building the in-house capability to continuously redesign how work gets organised.

In this session, Navigo, Simplify Co and Change It Talent introduce a practical three-gap framework to help organisations understand what’s standing in the way: the people, systems and skills needed to design and redesign an operating model effectively.

Three key takeaways:

1. Move beyond reactive restructuring. Understand why organisation design needs to become an ongoing capability rather than something you revisit every few years or when something breaks.
2. Identify the gap holding your organisation back. Use the three-gap framework to assess whether your biggest challenge is having the right people, the systems to model your operating model or the skills to do the work effectively.
3. Build an operating model you can redesign, not rebuild. Learn how reusable building blocks, a shared design language and clear decision rules can help your organisation continuously adapt to change.
