Organization structure review

"I am not sure that I have the right structure and people to achieve my business plan. I need to get a better handle on what I've got."

Successful implementation of strategy is dependent on having the right number of layers of management and the right grouping of work (form follows function). Yet our research indicates 56% of roles in organizations are poorly designed or staffed with people who are under- or over-capable. As a result some work doesn't get done while other work is duplicated, and salary costs are out of line with the work being performed.

In a review of your organization's structure we

• work with you to determine what you see as key issues.
• interview selected stakeholders for their views.
• analyze the interview data to obtain a solid understanding of your business and the actual key issues.
• provide a report that confirms or identifies issues and provides a snapshot of the gaps, jam-ups, and grouping of work in your organization.
• provide options to begin the task of redesigning the organization.

Throughout the process we work with internal partners if possible, and provide education about accountability-based management principles and how they affect life in the organization.

Here is an outline of a typical organization review process.

In an accountability-based company...

• Each employee has a manager capable of doing, and performing, work exactly one level higher in complexity.
• Jam-ups and gaps are not built into the system.
