Organizational Design
An organizational structure is more than a chart: it decides who is accountable for which result and where decisions are made.
Context
When structure has not kept pace with strategy and processes, the result is overlapping duties, gaps in accountability, and slow decisions.
What I do
- Reviewing the current structure alongside strategy and core processes
- Designing and comparing structural options
- Defining roles, responsibilities, and levels of authority
- Planning the transition to the new structure
How I usually approach it
01
Diagnose
Talk with managers and review core processes to find where structure gets in the way of work.
02
Design options
Several structural options, each with its benefits and costs.
03
Define roles
Clarify responsibilities and decision rights within the chosen structure.
04
Plan the transition
Sequence the changes so that ongoing work is not disrupted.
Potential deliverables
- A diagnosis of the current structure
- Structural options and a comparison
- An organization chart and role descriptions
- A responsibility and authority matrix
- A transition plan
The deliverables of each engagement are agreed at the start, based on the organization's needs.
