Designing Agile Organizations for the future now

The traditional boxy structured organizational design of the workplace has been irrevocably and permanently disrupted. Technological improvements, an increasingly disturbed workforce, as well as global pandemics now demand that organizations be both "walless and wireless." As the world and organizations re-emerges post-Covid19, leaders proceed with first hand empirical knowledge that their organizations must prepare now for other future VUCA related events. Flexible and responsive organizational design is no longer a "nice to have", but a "must have". Organizations must be designed to improve communication, increase productivity, and inspire innovation. The design must provide both boundaries and freedom where teams can work effectively. At the root of diminished employee productivity and performance issues is outdated organizational design. Historically, roles have not only been unclear, but often too rigidly defined which did not allow for collaboration between functions. This is one of central causes and justifications for organizations silos. As a result, employees not only feel "boxed", but also find themselves going around in dizzying circles and through endless hoops to execute on business priorities. What is the optimal design Post-COVID19 for an organization to ensure speed, impact, and maximum productivity? How can organizations be designed with the ability to respond and to take advantage of every opportunity which presents itself. Agile designed organizations are no longer just a line item within an organization's business continuity plan. To thrive within this new normal, organizations must be both agile and able to respond to the speed of opportunity.
