The Organizational Systems Design (OSD) model, shown here, emphasizes design
for purpose and alignment. We believe that you get what you design and
that if you want different results then you
 need to change the design. As
the old saying goes, “If you always do what you have always done, then
you will always get what you always got”. The OSD model is useful for
framing an organization’s thinking about its current and future design,
but it does not dictate any one set of design choices.
First, we examine design choices made by the organization to date and the effect
these choices have had on the organization and on its outcomes. Second,
we identify design choices that create the ideal organization to achieve
your desired future outcomes. Third, we identify the gaps between its
current state and future state then plan how best to design, align, and
deploy solutions.
