Organisation analysis & audit: Applying management due diligence and reviews of organisation effectiveness.
Our approach is to work closely with you and your senior team as we audit your organisational effectiveness, and test different organisational options - keeping you fully involved in the decision-making process at every stage.
Using our Organisational Diagnostic, we examine the degree of alignment between your strategy and structure, processes, perfromance management, and people capability. The outcome is a clear assessment of what interventions are needed to deliver improvements in business performance.
Organisation change: Reshaping your organisation to operate effectively at strategic, tactical, and operational levels.
We create and evaluate different organisational models that are pressure tested by the senior team through creating simulations of the future, and testing how the organisation might behave in each circumstance. The result is a recommended organisational model that ccan best deliver your strategy.
Following on from the Organisation Model, we build structures from the organisation's core management processes. Unit Charters are defined for each function, stating its purpose, accountabilities, decisions, measures, and key interfaces, in order to ensure coherence and integrity between functions.
Thus we create organisations that are:
- Aligned - linking structures, processes and people to your strategy
- Agile - adaptable to changing external conditions
- Accountable - with a clear understanding of how the organisation works, and how decisions get made and implemented.
Developing Governance: Organisations governance specifies how the business will manage itself in order to exercise business control. We offer specific services services to assist with board evaluation and development. Click here for more information >
Culture Transformation: Aligning behaviours with direction and straegy to fulfill corporate and local accountabilities. Delivering success is easier when the behaviours of your senior managers are in alignment with your company's strategic direction.
Transformational HR Strategy: Working with the HR Directors, and the HR team, to create a business-led HR strategy, and, design and implement a fit or purpose HR organisation.
Making Change Stick: Designing and implementing approaches to optimise changes in structures and processes through people. We ensure your change projects include building the human resource infrastructure, and linking processes and structure to people motivation.
One of the biggest causes for failed re-structuring projects is not building a commonly held understanding of how the new business is supposed to work. To mitigate this, we advocate the cascading of a new organisation down the line, one level at a time, with each level designed and signed off by the respective leaders. This is supported by the use of Enrolment Centres for new teams that enable them to create a common understanding of how the business will operate, and how they will work with each other. The provides huge benefits to the creation f a sustainablee restructured organisation.
To change the way people work, we operate along side internal teams, providing a robust approach to change implementation and linking technological change to people change. We buidl ownership and commitment through keeping leaders aligned to a clear vision and we have many ways to drive the necessary developments in your culture to ensure the change is deep rooted, permanent and fulfills all its objectives.
We work with clients on challenges that include:
- Business Integration - Integrating organisations post-merger or acquisition
- Globalisation - Translating your global strategy into a robust organisational architecture
- Outsourcing - Reshaping your organisation to maximise benefits from outsourcing
- Head office Review - Re-aligning the Corporate Centre to the business needs
- Matrix Management - Providing clarity in making the matrix work
Organisational restructuring often fails because there is not a common understanding of how the new business is supposed to work. Our approach to organisation design ensures your senior management team will be aligned and committed to delivering the organisational change. Our focus on accountabilities, decision-making, key interfaces, and behaviours will help you build a sustainable organisation for the future.
