Navigating Organizational Performance for HR
A Systems-Based Learning Experience for HR Professionals
HR professionals are increasingly expected to influence business performance, guide workforce decisions, and serve as trusted strategic partners. Yet many have never been taught how businesses create value or how the systems within an organization work together to produce results.
Navigating Organizational Performance for HR is a live learning experience delivered over four three-hour sessions that introduces participants to Organizational Systems Design (OSD), a practical approach for understanding and improving organizational performance. Participants learn to see how strategy, structure, processes, decision-making, people, rewards, culture, and feedback work together as an integrated system. Learners will then practice applying the OSD approach to a business case scenario. After completing this class, participants will be better equipped to diagnose performance challenges, align workforce initiatives with business priorities, and increase their strategic impact.
