Agile Organizational Design: How HR Can Build Capability in Governmental Agencies
Includes a Live Web Event on 11/13/2025 at 1:00 PM (EST)
Please join us on November 13th at 1 PM ET as our speakers discuss agile organizational design.
Organizations must know what they need to know and be able to do what they are required to do. As the environment within which organizations function has been increasingly dynamic, it has raised questions about the effectiveness of organizational designs used during more stable times. Agility has become a key competence required to remain compatible with emerging realities.
Organizations can build eco-systems that facilitate sound decision making by combining organizational designs and augmentation tools. When integrated with an effective knowledge management system they create synergistic benefits.
Organizations can use work teams, project teams, task forces, and communities of practice as vehicles for combining individual knowledge and magnifying its potential for resolving issues and making decisions. The use of contractors and freelancers can supplement the capabilities of the employed workforce, making it possible to continuously adjust workforce capabilities to fit current realities.
Augmenting individual and group intelligence with technology can further increase capabilities for making informed decisions. Knowledge management systems can increase the ability to catalog what is known and to make it accessible when making decisions.
