Stated simply, Organization Structure is how business units, teams and
individuals fit together and interact in executing the daily activities
of the organization. It is driven by strategy and designed to facilitate
effective work processes and collaboration in order to achieve the
highest levels of performance.Organization Structure frames the
channels for individual and group action and behavior in the context of
both the soft and hard structure, or the means and the form for getting
work done.
Over the past several years, there has been a lot of attention given to
the notion of “organization re-design” or “organization restructuring.”
This practice is based on the premise that if you move around the
individual pieces of an organization, the performance of the whole will
be increased.
However, organization re-design by itself does little to affect
improved performance. It is akin to rearranging the storefront window
display without changing the merchandise inside. While putting on a
fresh face may provide a hopeful sign for some, it often does not affect
real change. Structure, in and of itself, is not a strategy, but rather
an enabler that allows strategy to come to life.
At The Clarion Group, we’ve developed an approach to Organization
Structure that uses a process of inquiry to uncover the fundamental
truths of an organization, narrow the field of design possibilities, and
determine the most appropriate design solutions. Our work focuses on
enabling Business Strategy and
clearly identifying the needed
Organizational Behavior.
By asking the right questions, it becomes clear what options will and
will not work for our clients. What’s
more, in the process of considering the questions, our work allows
executives to reveal unexpected answers and new possibilities about
their businesses.
