What is the process of Organisational Design?

Organisational design usually requires a large-scale review of all elements of your organisation, from the wider structures, policies and practices in place down to ‘unwritten’ company culture, individual performances and reward systems that work to support them. There are three steps to the organisational design process: consideration, planning and support. We will talk you through these steps in more detail during our proposal process.

Before you do anything else, consider the impact that any changes you make will have on your organisation and the people within it. You can do this by evaluating your existing design, examining factors like your company size, your current strategy and your market environment, to identify areas of improvement and envision a new path for your organisation.

The next step is to plan how you get there, gathering input from every department to ensure a collaborative approach that works for everyone. This goes hand in hand with the final step to successful organisational design: support. Not only will your team provide valuable insights into your company processes and feel included in the design process which helps to boost morale, but your new vision for your company will be effectively communicated across your entire organisation.
