Having the appropriate internal structure, processes and communications channels in an organization is fundamental to operate effectively in an ever-increasing competitive environment. The modeling of organisation structures should effectively cater not only for delivering its lines of business but also to efficiently handle all stakeholders in both the micro and macro environments it is competing within.
An organisation’s ability to achieve strategic goals or implement new operational arrangements relates directly to the setting of effective management and reporting structures striving to avoid the dead-weights of duplication, functional overlap and unclear lines of reporting and communication, all of which can cause slowdown and material ineffective business focus. Equally, modeling organisation structures, which are out of sync with the competitive market the company is operating in, can effectively risk driving the firm out of competitiveness.
Being the foundations of any organisation and commercial entity, we have strongly invested in developing our expertise in this area. We deliver support following a stringent review process taking into consideration all factors (internal and external), which can affect our client’s operations. Information captured and data collated is factored into various strategic review tools on the basis of which we proceed to lead our client’s team in the structuring of optimal organisation structures, or in the cases where a structure is already present, the re-alignment required. In all our engagements, we ensure that good corporate governance principles are entrenched across the organisation and that the structure being proposed is aligned with the strategic goals and objectives established by the board.
Pursuant to board endorsement, we shift our role into execution mode to assist the client in the implementation of the structure and changes required. In this setting our role evolves into that of an internal change agent ensuring that we jointly share the responsibility and satisfaction of a successful implementation.
We adapt our expertise and experience garnered in this domain to apply techniques for shorter-term projects where we proceed to lead the execution of shorter-term changes. We endeavour to create flexible transition processes across department teams, which subsequently aligned to their permanent role in the organisation, ensuring a stronger degree of ownership and belonging of the changes implemented.
