EVENT DETAILS

In the face of increasing market and economic uncertainties, the need for strategic and organizational agility seems obvious. But when it comes to organization change, the goal of most organizations is to adapt...it is not to become adaptable.

Making one successful change is not the same as being agile. The purpose of this working session is to learn about the "built to change" model of agility, apply some of the research-based tools developed by USC's Center for Effective Organizations, and discuss the role of HR in supporting agile organizations.

The session will be facilitated by Ed Lawler, Chris Worley, and Theresa Welbourne, who are all noted researchers and consultants from the Center for Effective Organizations at USC's Marshall School of Business. Ed has written over 36 books - his latest is Talent: Making People Your Competitive Advantage. Chris is coauthor with Ed of Built to Change and expert on strategic change and organization design. Theresa is author of the Leadership Pulse Project and expert on employee energy and engagement during change.

During the workshop, you will work with Drs. Lawler, Welbourne, and Worleyto:

• Diagnose your organization's agility profile and compare with world-class benchmarks
• Understand and work with the dimensions of the Built to Change agility framework
• Learn to use the extreme strategizing process within your organization
• Support extreme strategizing with maximum surface area structures
• Build Fast HR practices to match changing business needs
