In-house organization design training.
Training built around your organization: a shared language and practical tools for organization design, practiced on your own business challenges, with support as your team puts them to work.
Build design capability inside your organization.
Our in-house programs give HR business partners, organization design teams, and business leaders a shared language and a practical toolkit, so they can lead design work with confidence.
We start by learning your strategy and interviewing your leaders, then build the sessions around your business and your live design challenges. The goal is lasting capability: your team keeps the method and the materials, and relies less on outside consultants over time.
Who our programs are for
- HR business partners. Moving from taking orders to owning design work with the business, as trusted strategic partners.
- Organization design and effectiveness teams. Deepening methodology and tools to lead design work across the enterprise.
- Business leaders. Enough design fluency to solve the right problem before redrawing the org chart. About a quarter of our programs now include business leaders, not just HR.
- Teams preparing to run a redesign themselves. Building the skills to lead the process internally, with our coaching alongside.
How an in-house program works.
- Before
Learn your business
We learn your strategy and organization, interview a handful of leaders, and set a baseline, so the program is built around your context. Short pre-work gives everyone a common foundation.
- During
Workshops
Two days in person, or four four-hour virtual sessions, led by senior practitioners and tailored to your organization. Participants apply the tools to real design challenges from your own organization.
- After
Apply and sustain
A capstone and a community of practice session reinforce the learning, with optional advisory support as your team applies design to live work.
We can provide a variety of support options to embed the learning.

Frequently asked questions.
How is an in-house program different from your public program?
An in-house program is built for one organization. We customize the content to your strategy and operating model, use your own live design challenges as the cases, and add coaching and follow-on support. A typical cohort is up to about 25 participants. The public program brings together practitioners from different companies on a fixed schedule.
Can participants earn an ODC certificate?
Yes. Our organization design program is accredited by the Organization Design Community (ODC), and participants are eligible for an ODC certificate on completion. ODC verifies completion with us, and a $100 processing fee is paid directly to ODC.
Can business leaders take part, not just HR?
Yes, and we encourage it. Design decisions belong to leaders, so programs work best when a few business leaders learn alongside HR. About a quarter of our programs now include business leaders.
What happens after the training ends?
Participants complete a capstone on part of their own organization and present it at a community of practice session. Many clients add advisory hours for the months that follow, and some build a full internal center of expertise with our support.
