1. Designing standards
for returning to the office
Most companies are preparing the return to the office at some point for part of their workforce. Lots of cross-functional work these days is around designing standards for safely working at the office.
For those of you that are leading organizations, we’ve created a mini-guide of aspects to consider for your standards design work, including what standards are usually taken into account and also recommendations of how these standards can be designed better using UX principles.
Resuming transformation programs
As the attention of executives has shifted towards business continuity plans, employee safety and dealing with the crisis, many transformation programs that were initiated before the pandemic have been put on hold or have slowed down considerably.
We invite you to discover three (re)alignments and the associated conversations that are needed in order to successfully continue transformation programs.
The OrgDev newsletter is curated by Raluca and Bülent Duagi, the team behind Sense & Change. We work as OD Advisers to high performing cross-functional teams, guiding strategy execution and increasing team effectiveness in complex and uncertain contexts.
