Organizational Design

Required Inputs

• Organization: Company or business unit name, current headcount, revenue, and geographic footprint.
• Current Structure: Existing org chart or description of reporting relationships, layers, and key roles.
• Strategy: The business strategy the organization must execute (growth, transformation, cost efficiency, market entry, integration).
• Pain Points: Known structural issues — slow decisions, unclear accountability, duplication, silos, coordination failures.
• Constraints: Budget limitations, regulatory requirements (e.g., mandated roles), union agreements, key-person retention needs.
• Timeline: How quickly the redesign must be implemented.
