Organisation Design

Effective organisational design is key to meeting the strategic goals. Structures need to be underpinned by sound design principles. Poor design and implemtation costs organisations through missed market opportunities, slow decision making and poor morale and motivation. Symptoms of poor design can include:

•  Slow and cumbersome decision making

•  Too many layers of management or too few

•  Missed market opportunities

•  People always in meetings

•  Lack of clarity about strategic intent

•  Lack of customer focus

•  Poor performance culture


Working with bioss delivers:

•  optimal organisation structures

•  clear role accountabilities

•  appropriate levels of empowerment

•  improved performance management linked to accountabilities

•  motivational rewards linked openly to contribution

•  a high performance organisational culture

•  personal and career development linked to level of job and potential

•  opportunities for more focused coaching and mentoring

The bioss approach to organisation and job design defines the unique type of work that is required to be undertaken at various levels within an organisation based on the bioss framework . How many levels will depend upon the complexity of the external demands faced by the organisation. This will in part be shaped by a national, international or global context and the strategic intent. In working with organisations to determine the most effective shape and structure, functional alignment, matrix requirements and relationships are also key in determining success.
