Chart the path towards future growth with organisational design

Design the structure, roles, and skills your organisation needs to successfully deliver on your strategy.

Identify and organise your talent to achieve business strategy

Organisational design is the practical application of business strategy through people. But forecasting the optimum structure and the best skills and roles to invest in is challenging.

In lieu of a deliberate plan, organisation structure evolves somewhat aimlessly. Tweaking ‘yesterday’s’ structure does not guarantee current or future fit for purpose. Without a proper review, organisations risk carrying forward an amount of legacy inefficiency. 

As detailed as ‘tomorrow’ may be in the strategy, it is unlikely to be deliberately executed in terms of organisational structure and key role design. This is where organisational design fills the gap by identifying the optimum structure, skills and roles organisations need to drive their performance.

High-growth companies

It is all about planning and understanding the skills, knowledge, capability and capacity to create the optimum structure for the future business. Answering the questions of ‘who should we hire for the medium term’ and ‘how do we do what we need to, to be the most effective organisation we can be’ enable you to understand and plan for the skills, knowledge, capability and capacity you need to create the optimum structure for your future business.

Mid-size businesses

Your business is maturing and new technologies, skills and team resources are needed to meet new strategic goals. These need to be collaboratively planned and developed.

Alternatively you may need to focus on efficiency and effectiveness, reviewing critical operations and those that may no longer serve you as well as expected.

Whatever the outcome you require, with effective organisational design support we provide the organisational frameworks to help you remain competitive in your marketplace.

Large organisations

Multiple divisions and complex structures often with their own specific goals, functions, and leadership, combined with changes in multiple markets may mean your current structure is no longer serving the overarching company mission.

Growth in some areas, duplication of effort or declining importance in others often result as corporate strategy develops, leading to ineffective resource allocation and compromised decision making and organisational structures – all of which can be addressed through organisational design.

Workshops & programs for organisational design 

Shaping effective organisational design is best achieved through a series of workshops and programs. These workshops first explore key processes and the skills you may need as it relates to your vision and strategy.

We then go on to explore optimum structures, design the roles required in your future state and map the pathway to get there.
