Henley Organisational Design Programme

Organisational design is the process of aligning the structure, workflows and resources of an organisation with its objectives in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The need for organisational design can come from mergers, new products and services, cost reduction initiatives and broad change initiatives.

The Henley Organisational Design programme covers what organisational design is and how to implement it in your organisation, with practical examples.

The programme can be completed as a standalone or as part of The Henley People & Organisational Change Pathway.

Important note

All programmes are subject to limited availability. We recommend booking a minimum of 6 weeks before the programme start date, to guarantee sufficient time for your enrolment and on-boarding.

Henley's People & Organisational Change programmes are delivered through the presentation and exploration of key ideas, peer discussion, group learning and case studies. Each programme:

• Focuses on organisational context, encouraging you to consider and discuss your own challenges
• Integrates soft skills and practice with theory, helping you develop the confidence and credibility you need to get results back in the workplace
• Gives you immediate practical takeaways such as an action plan aligned with your personal learning objectives
• Provides the opportunity to engage with a supportive peer network
