Panelists will discuss practical approaches to defining specialized functions, establishing optimal structures, and creating roles that align with strategic objectives. Attendees will gain insights into avoiding common pitfalls such as overlapping roles and unclear accountabilities, and learn how to implement a work-first approach to organizational design for enhanced productivity and profitability.​
