3 Managing Reorganization, Restructuring and Layoffs 2015 Clariden Global Executive Education Our faculty director, Damian Menzies, with more than 25 years of restructuring and change management experience will guide you through how to develop and execute a reorganization strategy and handle challenges that you encounter in the process. Participants will be involved in real-life case study discussions, and be exposed to up to date models, strategies and implementation plans that can be applied to your work. Throughout the program, you will receive constructive feedback and insights from faculty and fellow participants, and leave with specification steps for resolving current and future organization challenges. PROGRAM OVERVIEW Almost every company will encounter the need for reorganization. Industry and market transitions, pressure from competitors and new product lines can result in the need to change in order to ensure survival or create new competitive advantages. However, there are many difficulties faced in implementing reorganization strategies and ensuring a smooth transition to the new organizational structure. In many cases, employees may view major changes negatively, leading to resistance. Managing reorganization effectively will involve communicating changes through the organization in an appropriate and timely manner. In addition, other issues such as understanding the concerns and roles of various stakeholders, having adequate workforce planning as well as analyzing and measuring the impact of reorganization will largely influence the success of your reorganization strategy. Reorganization and restructuring can lead to improved performance and profitability for a business. However, there are many potential pitfalls and challenges that impede the successful implementation of a reorganization strategy and may even lead to dire consequences that are difficult to recover from. Often, HR professionals play a pivotal role in ensuring that stakeholders are able to adapt to the new environment and transition successfully. This highly interactive executive program will equip you with a broad range of concepts, skills, and techniques to successfully manage a reorganization from a HR Perspective. It will address the critical issues of reorganization and restructuring commonly faced by organizations through the planning, implementation and post restructuring phase.
