Organizational Design and Effectiveness
An organization’s design can support its mission– or get in the way. When strategies change or results lag, an organizational redesign can reduce layers, drive alignment, and improve efficiency or effectiveness? Effective organizational design is more than drawing boxes.
WLH supports leaders in thinking through design criteria, the impact on processes and people, and the change management needed for effective implementation.

Competency models are the foundation for many HR practices and client rely on our extensive experience to create enterprise, function, or role related models. Each model defines the specific skills, behaviors, and knowledge that enables performance success.
