Organisational development
Achieve Your Goals
Many organisations embark on "restructuring" projects only to realise that the results are not what they expected. We focus firstly on addressing the root causes that result in, what might be considered, the need for restructure. Going directly for the root cause produces a lasting impact, solves the issue at the source and prevents staffing cost rises from recurring reshuffles and re-definements.
Engaging all stakeholders is a major part of any organisational development effort.
Evolution by design
Structuring the organisation and its activities
We build the organisational structure and activities to facilitate the delivery of your strategy.
The system must define key positions, promote accountability and promote collaborative decision making.
In order to set up or review structure one must take into account the activities to be carried out within it. We start by understanding how you are set up currently and what activities take place where, when and how. Activity analysis pinpoints whether or not activities add value, are carried out efficiently and in the right function.
Roles and responsibilities
How well are the roles and responsibilities defined in your organisation?
It is, in fact, crucial to performance management that your people know what is expected of them. It is also extremely important to identify the span of authority for each role.
We work with you to define the above and put into place an optimum structure which also supports an effective appraisal framework.
Resource requirements and capacity management
What resources do you need? Which resources could be considered “nice to have” and which “impossible to do without”?
Again we go back to basics and look at what the optimum setup is for the business so that we can identify exactly what it takes to get the job done, on time, to specification and within budget.
Competencies
So we know what we want to do and how to do it. We know how many people we need to do it. We have even looked at the resources we need and are confident we have a pretty solid setup.
When push comes to shove, what can we expect of our people and systems? How will they perform under normal circumstances? How will they respond under pressure or even in the face of a crisis?
Work with us to set up your organisation's competency matrix and contingency plan.
