About me - Vera Di Cristinzi

A passionate professional who can guide you through a journey tailored to your specific needs.

For over 25 years, I’ve been working in organizational design, supporting companies and individuals in building stronger, more aware, and change-ready organizations.

I believe that a well-designed organization can unlock energy, make human systems more effective, and bring out what makes each reality unique and impossible to replicate.

I help entrepreneurs and businesses move beyond dependency on consulting solutions, empowering them to build their own capabilities and make more informed choices.

From academia to the field, I’ve made organization my craft.

After twenty years as an internal organization designer in structured companies such as Unicredit and Lamborghini, I now work as a consultant supporting businesses of all sizes—from large corporations to SMEs and family-owned enterprises—in organizational evolution projects.

I teach Organizational Design and Change Management in Italian Business Schools, including Bologna Business School.

I’m a member of EODF, the largest European community dedicated to organizational design, where I served as Conference Dean and conference designer in 2024.

How I work

  • Systemic approach
  • In a structured and pragmatic way
  • I won’t hand you ready-made recipes—I’ll work with you to shape solutions tailored to your unique context
  • I share organizational knowledge and tools with the people I work with
  • I challenge your organizational thinking so that new ideas can emerge 
  • With an informal, agile and smart approach. My focus is transferring content, supporting you and getting results not producing slides.
  • Both in-person and online
  • Both in Italian and English. If you need a team on multiple countries I can draw on a strong network of professionals with whom I collaborate regularly.
  • If you want to do something that I don’t have deep expertise on (e.g., specific organizational models, deep evolutionary work on people) I can connect you with someone who guides you and does work that is complementary to mine. I often work in multidisciplinary teams.

How to navigate in choosing the right organizational approach for your company?

  • Org Design consultant can explain what “tools” he has in his briefcase: schools of thought, underlying theories, and pros and cons of the approaches he uses
  • It is his job to bring you to reason about the pros and cons of the ways of working that he is able to propose to you and about which he has experience
  • And if the counselor understands that the approach that is most useful to you or what you are looking for does not fall within his or her areas of expertises, he or she can refer you to someone who has more experience and/or specialization on what you need
  •  
  • Together you will decide on the approach to take.
  • As an Organization design practitioner, I have studied theoretically and then applied within the companies I have supported various approaches that now make up my portfolio of possible services.
  • I have been involved in strategic and operational organization design in both traditional and sociotechnical ways.
