Beyond Restructuring: The Deep Work of Organisational Transformation

In a world of rapid change, organisations often reach for the familiar tool of restructuring. Yet these surface-level shifts rarely address the deeper systemic forces at play—culture, purpose, and the lived experience of work.

What would it look like to truly go beneath the surface?

Dr Beatrice Hofmeyr invites OD practitioners to explore the deep work of organisational design—work that engages both the rational and relational systems of an organisation. Drawing on the human-centred, co-designed SysCAP™ Approach, she offers a structured yet adaptive alternative to traditional top-down change.

Through real-world case studies and practical tools, this session unpacks how leaders and OD professionals can move beyond reactive cycles of restructuring to work with the underlying patterns, tensions, and aspirations within a system.

The result? Organisations that are not only more efficient but also more humane, adaptive, and purpose-driven.

Participants will walk away with new perspectives on their role in organisational development and renewed confidence in leading design work that achieves sustainable change.
