Tribal nations face common challenges around IT organizational design.

  • Common challenges that tribal nations face around IT organizational design include regulatory, environmental, economic, and political influences.
  • Too often, IT organizational placement and design is not a conscious decision but an operating environment that developed over periods of rapid growth and change.
  • IT organizations that are not well-placed or well-designed find it more difficult to achieve and sustain peak performance and reach maximum levels of maturity.

This workshop will walk you through strategic decision-making topics to explore and document before the IT placement and organization design process.

  • Identify and document rules, regulations, and compacts that influence the IT organization’s current state and differentiate between actual and perceived influencing forces.
  • Explore and document key areas of focus for IT organization placement and design within your unique tribal nation.
  • Analyze key areas of focus against the IT organization’s current state and gain an understanding of the implications for IT organization placement and design.
