Managing organizations without data is fraught with misinformation, blind spots and risk. But with a data-driven approach, leaders can take control, make forward looking decisions and have a high level of confidence that actions decided upon will deliver intended outcomes. This book takes you step by step through the macro operating and micro detailed stages of organization design to provide a full end-to-end method for designing the organizational system. From setting the strategy to defining design principles and criteria, right through to role design, objectives management, activity analysis, competency design, rightsizing, implementing a position hierarchy and much more, Data-Driven Organization Design gives an essential grounding in how to use organizational data to perpetually drive performance. This second edition has been fully updated throughout to reflect the key learning gained from leveraging the methods in the book across hundreds of projects since the first edition was published.
