Hosted by the SMS Competitive Strategy Interest Group
This webinar brings together leading scholars and a practitioner voice to spark a conversation about how organizational design can either advance—or hold back—progress on some of today’s most urgent challenges. From inequality to climate change, organizations are under pressure to adapt their structures in ways that create real societal impact. At the same time, they face growing pushback on social and environmental initiatives, the need to stay resilient in times of uncertainty, and the fast-moving disruption of generative AI.
Our panel includes Prof. Sandro Cabral (Insper), Prof. Isabel Fernandez-Mateo (London Business School), Prof. John Joseph (UC Irvine), and Martin Gonzalez, Organizational Design Lead at Google DeepMind. Drawing from strategy, organizational theory, and practice, the panel will look at how design choices shape firms’ ability to innovate and respond to these pressures. The goal is to offer fresh perspectives for scholars, practitioners, and students on where our research and practice can really make an impact.
