Research projects
- OrgVisionPro: Automated organizational design and optimization
- Sponsor: Innosuisse (Swiss Innovation Agency)
- Team: Michel Bierlaire (PI), Rico Krueger (PM), Tim Hillel (PM), Melvin Wong, Nour Dougui
- Period: October 01, 2019-June 30, 2021
- This project, joint with CLEAP S.A., is will develop advanced analytics algorithms to propose organization design (OD) scenarios based on the existing situation, constraints, and future needs of a business. These scenarios will support organizations in shaping their future by optimizing their structure and operating models.
