This year, we look at design in the way an architect would: "How we enter and leave a space is just as important as what we do in it."
Opening Keynote Speaker:
"Designing a Community in Real Time: Many People, Diverse Opinions and One Strategic Solution" Charles Durrett of McCamant & Durrett Architects and The CoHousing Company Mr. Durrett's company has created a collaborative process that actively involves residents in the design of shared living space. He will help us look through the lens of an architect when designing in our space. Keynote Speaker: "Co-Creating the Customer Experience: Implications for Organization Design"
Francis J. Gouillart President, the Experience Co-Creation Partnership Francis J. Gouillart teaches at the Center for Experience Co-Creation at the Ross Business School at the University of Michigan. The Center for Experience Co-Creation was founded around the concepts of Experience Co-Creation, originally developed by C.K. Prahalad and Venkat Ramaswamy, the two widely recognized strategy and innovation professors at the Ross Business School at the University of Michigan, with Venkat Ramaswamy as Director of the Center. Francis Gouillart is also the President of the Experience Co-Creation Partnership (ECC Partnership). The ECC Partnership is a services firm built to implement the Experience Co-Creation ideas with corporate clients around the world. Venkat Ramaswamy is the Founder and Chairman of the ECCP. The ECC Partnership provides workshop, coaching and consulting services to its clients, encouraging the development of internal capabilities through a cost-effective, high-leverage model. Before joining Venkat Ramaswamy in the ECC Partnership, Mr. Gouillart was closely associated with the development and implementation of major business methodologies, including the Balanced Scorecard model (working with its two creators Robert Kaplan, at Harvard Business School and David Norton, at the Balanced Scorecard Collaborative, now division of Palladium), and the Value Innovation/Blue Ocean Strategy model (working with Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne at INSEAD). He also worked with C.K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel in their development of the Strategic Intent and Core Competences model. Mr. Gouillart is co-author (with James Kelly) of the book "Transforming the Organization", published by McGraw-Hill, which reached the top of Business Week's best-seller list in 1995. He is also co-author (with Frederick Sturdivant) of the article "Spend a Day in the Life of Your Customers", published by Harvard Business Review (January-February 1994). He also authored the popular "Stratégie pour une Entreprise Compétitive", Editions Economica, Paris, which was named 'Best Strategy Book of the Year' by the French Association of Strategic Planners (AFPLANE) in 1989. He is considered one of the leading authorities on the topic of strategy, innovation, transformation, and capabilities-building. He has been widely quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Fortune, and has been featured on CNBC. Mr. Gouillart received an MBA from the University of Chicago, and currently resides in Concord, Massachusetts. Hands-On Plenary Sessions Include: "Designing for Differentiation" by Kreig Smith & Reed Deshler from AlignOrg Solutions Kreig and Reed delivered a dynamite pre-conference session for the 2007 ODF Conference and they have been invited back to present during the main conference in 2008. They will provide a highly interactive session that will demonstrate the power of organization design aligned to strategy.
"Real Time Strategic Change" author Robert "Jake" Jacobs & Ian Paterson from the Winds of Change Group Real Time Strategic Change: The Business of Fast and Lasting Organizaiton Design Shorten the time between investment and return. Stack the odds of long-term success in your favor. Make the few moves with the biggest payoffs.
During this session you'll apply the Six RTSC Principles and turbo-charge your existing design methods. The goal? To leave with at least one concrete action you can take that will significantly accelerate your organization design efforts in the future.
Case-Study Plenary Session: Rahul Merchant, CIO of Fannie Mae, and Yo Yeong, Director, Organization Development Rahul and Yo have a great story to tell about the restructuring of Fannie Mae's IT organization, which comprises over one-third of their company.

You will hear how strategy and organization design intersected and facilitated the success of the redesign. Closing Plenary Session:
Marc Gerstein of MGA Limited & ODF Co-President So where do we go from here? What next? How do we, as organization designers, exit this space? Marc will navigate our community through the answers to these questions and more as we challenge each other to explore the possibilities. In addition, concurrent sessions will be run emphasizing one or more of these key themes:
We also have pre-conference workshops available on Monday, April 21st!
