Does your organizational structure have you stuck in the slow lane?
Times have changed. The way we work has evolved. Our customers and employees
have new expectations. Has your organization model kept up?
When seeking to optimize your
strategy, your organizational
structure shouldn’t be a limiter or
an afterthought—in fact it should
be a strategic differentiator. Is it?
Unfortunately, most organizational
structures have not kept pace
with the new realities of today’s
workplace. Many current models
create barriers and fuel confusion.
These constraining and complex
structures get in the way of
performance, and negatively
impact employee and customer
experiences.
In this era of stiff competition for customers, battles for top-notch talent, and an
environment of constant change, organizations can’t afford structures that get in
the way. Those that are nimble and swift will be the entities that thrive.
PeopleFirm’s experienced team blends leading-edge research on organizational
effectiveness with thoughtful and customized design and implementation
strategies. In partnership with our clients we create integrated, fl exible, and
sustainable models for organizational strategy, design, and transformation that will
go the distance in today’s rapidly evolving business environment.

“The 20th-century model of
designing and managing
companies not only lags behind
the need for companies today
to emphasize collaboration and
wealth creation by talented
employees; it actually generates
unnecessary complexity that
works at cross-purposes to those
critical goals.”

PeopleFirm’s Organizational Design Touchstones
Our ApproachStart with Strategy
We begin with strategy, understanding your organization’s vision, your planned path, and what’s getting in the way. We tune into culture and seek to understand your desired employee experience. With that foundation we explore alternative operating models and introduce new research-backed concepts and ideas. We test possible designs and help you select the best model to optimize your business strategy.
Interactive, Collaborative Design
Our iterative methodology brings the strategic design forward into a detailed organizational structure ensuring alignment with your selected design principles. While our collaborative approach builds broad organizational support and understanding throughout the process, we also help you thoughtfully answer the tough questions on roles, leveling, and staffing approaches. Finally, we ensure you exit design with a clear understanding of all organizational impacts and a rigorous transition plan.
Effective Transitions
Our approach ensures that your people are prepared during a time of stress and change. We advise you on leading successful transitions with the goal of minimizing disruptions and productivity losses. We ensure your team embraces the changes and is prepared to adopt new approaches to working together. We believe reorganizations should produce a competitive advantage and be a positive experience for your employees providing greater role clarity and a better understanding of career opportunities.
