- May 1
- 2 min read
What to do when effort increases, but delivery slows down — or what is really breaking in your organization?
In today’s humanitarian and development organizations, ongoing pressures, such as the disruptions following the closure of USAID and reductions in UN core funding, are turning temporary challenges into structural shocks. In this context, misalignment across HR, operations, and programs can silently erode organizational performance and impact.
This Flagship Dialogue offers practical insights into ways to restore alignment, sustain delivery under reform, and strengthen organizational resilience before silos and capability gaps widen even further.
DevelopmentPeople, in collaboration with DevelopmentAid, invites executive leaders, program coordinators, human resources officers, and operations project managers to join this Flagship Dialogue on “Organizational Resilience Under Reform: Align HR, Operations, and Programs to Sustain Delivery”, which will take place on May 14 at 4 pm (Brussels) / 10 am (Washington, DC).
During this session, Matanat Rahimova, Senior Associate Consultant at DevelopmentPeople, will unpack where execution is being constrained and how functional misalignment across human resources, operations, and programs can reduce overall impact.
Key takeaways:
Learn how to restore alignment and sustain delivery under reform pressures.
Get a sharper picture of where execution breaks first in your organization.
Gain practical tools to redesign system alignment across functions and stakeholders.
Engage with the speaker via an interactive Q&A session.
