Utilising Process Design for Organisational Transformation

About this event
Organisational Design is a complex and evolving area of HR expertise. Whilst we tend to think of it as hierarchical structure charts, the process view of an organisation can offer a much more insightful perspective.
Many businesses give a fleeting glance to process design. Many organisational restructures fail because they move jobs and reporting lines around the organisation but fail to change the fundamentals of the business which is to change our processes.
But the reality is that organisations are more complicated than ever and with the increase of AI, the potential benefits of re-engineering effectively are huge. Understanding how effective processes can be created, developed and implemented allows HR to truly add value to the business and to take its seat at the top table.
This seminar will provide you with the understanding and the tools for business process design and considers how their implementation can improve the employee experience as well as meeting business needs.
