Organizational Design

Thank you for presenting and engaging the group with your stimulating session on Organizational Design. I think many of us had our minds opened to a broader perspective and the many factors that contribute to and affect organizational design. You have a wonderful presence and I came away with some excellent learning. Much appreciated! Debbie Payne |

Have you ever experienced a major “re-org” of an organization, only to find that not only did the intended outcome remain elusive, but in addition there were unintended consequences over time that actually took the organization backwards? And how does one tell if problems are caused by organizational design in the first place?
Fortunately there are several guiding principles to organizational design. If carefully followed these principles will tend to increase the odds that problems are correctly diagnosed and that reorganization, should it be necessary, stands a good chance of success.
Kwela can help in two ways:
- Provide an educational session to better inform a group of stakeholders & decision-makers on the principles that need to be followed when modifying the design of an organization
- Facilitate a process with the key stakeholders to develop changes to the organizational design
Areas that we address:
- Linking strategy to structure
- When to address problems via reporting hierarchy versus process improvement
- Functional, product, process, market, geographic and hybrid structures
- Lateral processes and integrator roles
- Span of control
- Roles and responsibilities in matrixed or overlapping areas
