Organisational structure
The catalyst for organisational design results from decisions driven by external or internal factors, but the goal should always be to optimise the structure, resources, and processes.
What we can do for you
We believe that an organisational structure, which is the hierarchy of management reporting that defines who reports to whom, and within which people have distinct roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities to collectively contribute to executing all levels of strategy, is a fundamental component of the operating mode of the organisation and part of its hard architecture that enables the functioning of business operating models and the overarching organisational operating model.
Organisations succeed over time only when they adapt to the speed of continuous change, and the way an organisation is structured has an impact on how it operates in terms of flow of information, speed of decision-making, and level of collaboration.
We help you to undertake an assessment of the current state of the organisational structure to capture opportunities and pain points, and determine its effectiveness against different levels of strategy.
In the process of identifying potential opportunities for improvement in how this component of the hard architecture could be designed in a better way, we use a structural perspective to help you design an organisational structure that is aligned with all levels of strategy and the organisation’s vision, mission, purpose, and values, and a procedural perspective to help you to update business processes, contributing processes, and control processes to align them with the requirements and dynamics of the new structure.
