Course Overview

Organizational design is the backbone of strategy execution. In today’s complex business environment, outdated or inefficient structures can slow decision-making, reduce agility, and create barriers to growth. Structural optimization ensures that organizations are not only fit for current performance but also adaptable to future challenges.

This ten-day course from EuroQuest International Training explores key dimensions of organizational design, including strategy-structure alignment, governance frameworks, role clarity, and performance optimization. Participants will examine traditional and modern structures—hierarchical, matrix, networked, and agile—and learn to assess which models best support transformation and growth.

The program highlights foresight-driven design, enabling participants to anticipate emerging risks and opportunities and to create organizations that are both resilient and scalable.
