Org Design Digest – June 2019

June Org Design Wisdom: “Build or buy? Cobbling together a set of activities, adopting a framework or model and stamping an organization design title on it oversimplifies the solution AND entirely misses the nuance, decisions, trade-offs, challenges and risks associated with this work. Doing an activity is not the same as knowing how to use it.” – Mark LaScola

Organization Design Solution: The Build or Buy Decision (or Why HR Re-Invents Sliced Bread)

It goes well beyond people in jobs and their reporting relationships. An operating model is required in any business to bring the business model to life. Organization Design incorporates over 50 years of documented science and proven best practices from behavioral- and neuro-sciences, industrial engineering, human factors and business.

OTM Team Member Spotlight: Dennis Skinner

dennis skinner

Dennis has been part of the ON THE MARK team as a senior consultant for over 10 years now, participating in multiple design projects. It is a partnership he keeps coming back to, due to the unmatched quality of OTM’s design methodology, the caliber and camaraderie of OTM’s team, and the fun and satisfaction of seeing the impact of the work we do for such a diverse portfolio of appreciative clients.

For almost 20 years, Dennis has described himself as a professional facilitator, designing and leading collaborative group work to solve complex problems, design innovative products, and build effective teams.

He cut his teeth as an industrial engineer and software developer at Intel, where he ultimately spent 24 years leading organizations in product planning, internet marketing, corporate materials, and IT. Dennis discovered his passion for facilitation and organization effectiveness when he founded an internal collaboration capability at Intel called the Accelerated Results Center, enabling organizations to solve persistent problems, plan large-scale programs, develop strategic plans, and re-design organizations through immersive facilitated offsite workshops.

When he’s not designing and facilitating, Dennis enjoys reading business books, consuming personality assessments like popcorn (he is a certified Gallup Clifton Strengths coach), taking long walks, consuming good food and wine, and spending time with his family.
