Based on the groundbreaking work of a brilliant Canadian, the late Dr. Elliott Jaques, Strategic Organization provides concepts and tools to help you design and implement the most competitive, adaptive, and accountable organization possible.  You will learn how to eliminate bureaucracy by establishing levels that ensure added value by every manager and every employee.  And you will learn how to achieve genuine strategic alignment... aligning strategy with structure, structure with processes, processes with people, and people with HR systems.  As Levinson Institute CEO (and Harvard faculty member) Dr. Gerry Kraines often says, “By implementing Strategic Organization, managers are able to use the leadership system itself as a significant competitive advantage."

You will have many opportunities throughout the seminar's three-and-a-half days to integrate theory with practical applications using the lectures, case studies, and video presentations to find solutions to your own organizational challenges.  Each day, the intensive seminar lays out cutting-edge concepts and tools, and provides multiple illustrations and applications from the Institute’s longtime consulting experience.  It is the Strategic Organization framework combined with a “can-do,” problem-solving orientation that makes this seminar unique.

• Establish value-adding accountability leadership at every level of your organization;
• Design strategically aligned organizational systems;
• Structure departments, units, and divisions in which each layer of management adds value;
• Define and implement managerial practices that will fully utilize the potential of your people; and
• Create dynamic recruitment, selection, and retention plans through a software-supported methodology for judging, mapping, and developing your entire talent pool.

Strategic Organization is indispensable for executives who make decisions or recommendations about organizational systems and need to understand how to align each system with an organization’s strategy.  The seminar also provides valuable knowledge and tools for senior HR and OD managers accountable for organizational development and internal consulting.

In addition, participating in Strategic Organization is a terrific way to preview the Levinson Strategic Organization™ methodology if you are considering bringing Levinson into your organization.
