Organisation Design

Organisation Design is a process of aligning an organisation's structure and processes with its business strategy. The People Plugin sees it as a set of frameworks, tools, and methods that make the unseen forces of motivation, collaboration, and power dynamics visible.

It includes assessing the current organisation structure, identifying ways to improve it, and effectively implementing the changes to achieve desired outcomes.

Organisation Design is a continuous process of identifying, designing, and implementing changes to an organisation in order to improve its effectiveness.

The People Plugin can support you strategically thinking about about organisation design annually or when you:

Amend target market;

01

Enter new markets;

02

Change our business model;

03

Do not achieve our business objectives, or the desired performance;

04

Recognise a shift in the external environment i.e. via competitors, new technology etc.

The power of Jay Galibraith's classic star’s dynamic model

As you change strategy, we can support you to adjust the points on the star to ensure your organisation matches your goals. A leader's work is to continually diagnose and adjust these elements to keep the organisation aligned and on track. This is why organisation design always starts with strategy and why strategy is only an aspiration until we have an organisation that can bring it to life.

This can be a complex process and often best facilitated by an external party who can support and positively challenge the evolution of your organisation design.
