Expertise: Theory-Driven Organizational Redesign
To facilitate improved organizational designs, we assist organizations in developing theory-grounded yet pragmatic solutions. We use such theories as Ashby’s Law of Requisite Variety, Lewin’s Freeze Model and Kotter’s Models of Leading Change in-order to create novel solutions that fit with the unique organizational needs of our clients. Additionally, we use systems engineering concepts as AS-IS and TO-BE modeling to arrive at solutions.
