Case studies and topics include:

  • Achieving Enterprise and Market Agility at Avanade and Unilever

  • Strategic Decentralisation at Imperial Brands
  • Using OD to Develop Digital Capability at Rolls-Royce and Hilton
  • Organisation Design and Strategic Direction Change at Tate &Lyle, and more.
