Organisation Design

We are experts in job-, work-, organisation and inter-organisation design. We help clients improve their performance and the well-being of their staff, and help them to meet customer requirements more effectively.

What it does

Redesigning can help clients:

• achieve organisational aims more effectively and cost-effectively
• adapt to changes in their operating environment, for example in response to regulatory changes or emerging competitive threats
• harness technological innovations in ways that enable the organisation and its staff
• work successfully with other organisations.

Aligning structures so that they fit with the aims and work of the organisation, partnership or work group may also require alignment of other aspects, measurement systems for example, and may involve assessment of cultural compatibility and attention to culture change requirements. All too often, business decisions with regard to either internal restructuring or mergers and acquisitions are taken without giving due consideration to cultural compatibility, and this leads to unexpected detrimental business consequences. We work with our clients to take cultural factors into consideration as part of their initial decision process, and draw upon our understanding of cultural attributes to inform a specific redesign.

Action research and participation, as well as other consultancy approaches are key offers in redesign.
