Dieter Valdsman is a Cape Town, South Africa based business executive with extensive organizational design, change and transformation experience. Today he spends most of his time as the Group Human Capital Executive for the 6000-employee Momentum Metropolitan Group, a South African-based financial services conglomerate. He\\u2019s also a senior research associate at the University of Johannesburg, lending his talents to improving our understanding of how organizations operate most effectively. \\xa0

Together we discussed the future of organizational design, and the necessity for organizations to redefine what 'work' looks like. And how the transition from the traditional inside-out approach to organizational structures must be adapted to reflect a more modern outside-in model that factors in an ever-changing world.

We discuss the critical importance of psychology safety in the workplace - particularly for organizations undergoing digital transformations. If your employees dont trust you, digital transformation feels a lot like workforce reduction through automation. It instead can feel empowering, enabling; more inclusive.\\xa0

We had a great discussion and I hope you enjoy it.
