How do we redesign the organization to deliver the strategy?
Designs the structure, the decision rights and the size of organization the strategy needs.
What you receive
The target organization, the decision rights, the spans and layers, and the transition plan.
Each management layer with its average span of control, before and after the change.
When to open it
- A new strategy needs a different organization.
- Decisions slow as management layers pile up.
- Your people team prepares the merger of two structures.
What the project covers
- Spans of control and management layers
- Decision rights and governance forums
- Process ownership and handoffs between units
- Shared services and location options
- Organization cost and the transition plan
What your team brings
- Organization charts and headcount by unit
- Payroll cost by level and function
- Process maps and governance calendars
- Employee survey results on how decisions are made
- Strategic plan and cost targets
In your report
- Exhibit 1
Layers and spans change from today's structure to the target
Each management layer with its average span of control, before and after the change.
- Exhibit 2
A decision-rights map gives each decision one owner
The main decisions of the business, with who recommends, who decides and who is consulted.
Where it applies
- Banking and lending
Do we run retail and business banking as one organization or two?
The clients and costs the two businesses share, and the decisions each one needs to take on its own.
- Energy and utilities
Should we run generation, networks and retail as separate businesses?
Any separation regulators require, the costs the businesses share and the decision rights each one needs.
- Technology and software
How should we organize engineering: by product line or around a shared platform?
Release speed, duplicated work across teams and who owns each customer outcome.
- Public sector
Should our agencies share back-office services, and which ones?
The cost and quality of each service today, the systems each agency runs and the decisions each one must keep.
