Org Design Sprint

Need to design (or redesign) a core part of how your organization works, but don’t want it to drag on for months? In this sprint, we’ll move fast and smart: from insight to tested solution in just five days.

You bring the challenge, for instance one of the nine key practices listed below. I’ll guide you through a structured design process that surfaces what matters, involves the right people, and produces something that works in practice.

Input:

A core organizational component you want to (re)design.

Output:

• A tested solution, shaped by real feedback
• A change strategy to roll it out

Drafts of:

• 📝 Policy documentation to refer to
• 📣 Presentation to explain the change
• 🛠️ Workshop to teach the new behavior

This is for teams ready to stop circling and start building, with speed, clarity, and intention.

Format: In-house

Participants: 1-5 project members

Duration: 5 days

Cost: 6000€

In my opinion, New Work is to

1. Include people in decisions that shape their work → Co-create, don’t dictate. Involvement creates commitment.
2. Share all relevant information openly and proactively → Radical transparency builds trust and enables smart decisions.
3. Lead in a way that inspires voluntary followership → Authority by integrity, not by title.
4. Set clear, meaningful goals that provide direction and purpose → Give people a “why” worth moving toward and let teams self-align.
5. Let teams own topics from start to finish → Trust them to take full responsibility—and pride—in the outcome.
6. Turn conflict into fuel for innovation and personal growth → Face tensions directly. Use them to grow, not divide.
7. Give feedback that challenges and supports growth → Honest, respectful, and focused on potential.
8. Support growth based on individual strengths and intrinsic motivation → Develop people, not just roles. Help them become more themselves.
9. Foster healthy relationships where people can fully contribute and be real → Work is human. Create space for authenticity, connection, and belonging.

Over the past decade, I've worked with three companies full-time, transforming them into New Work role models. Through these experiences, I've distilled nine key practices necessary for a sustainable New Work implementation.
