** Leadership Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
Considerations of structure are not traditionally included in a strategic planning process; they are often viewed as operational work to follow the plan. But when new strategies require fundamental shifts in how an organization moves in the world—a reality that many organizations face in 2021—leaders have to consider how existing organizational forms will contribute to or impede those shifts. We see organizations rearranging people and processes, sometimes in fairly radical ways and without a blueprint, to position themselves to enact new strategies. Is this happening at your organization? Answer our weekly question and let us know.
