Certified Organizational Design and Manpower Planning Professional

Program Overview

Restructuring and right-sizing decisions in Gulf government and corporate entities require a sound method for designing structures and determining how many people each unit genuinely needs. This programme combines organisational design with manpower planning: design principles and criteria, structure options from functional to matrix, spans of control and layers, role and job architecture, and governance of structure changes.
