Organization Design Challenges

Part 3: Developing the new design

The nine items in this part of the survey concern the core design activities related to the development, evaluation, and selection of a new organizational model. This phase may have a duration of several weeks or even months, depending on the scope of the proposed change, the complexity of the organization and the degree of divergence in stakeholder interests and preferences. But the purpose is typically to achieve consensus for a set of goals (or design criteria) and identify a new organizational model - possibly in combination with other measures - that will help address the goals or criteria.
