Organisation design

How well does your structure, service delivery model and operating model align with your business goals? The right organisational design can help drive productivity, people and profitability.

The infrastructure of your organisation – and how it’s designed – determines the cost of running your business and how revenue is generated. When aligned to strategy, it reduces costs and removes the revenue barriers arising from mismatched resourcing, inefficient processes, slow decision making or the wrong controls. Organisation design should also be optimised following M&A activity, rapid growth or change in strategy.

Our practical solutions will put your organisation on track.

Optimising – and leveraging – a function’s organisation...

The challenge

The engineering function within an aerospace, defence and nuclear engineering services business was operating inefficiently and falling short of required performance levels.

The solution

We worked with the client to determine the optimum organisation design to achieve key outcomes, with an aligned change management plan to aid successful business transition.

The results

Significant capacity release and clarity of accountabilities enabled the function to realise efficiencies and deliver tangible savings.

The six levers that we use to identify opportunities for change, efficiencies and simplification in your organisation design are:

strategy
people and skills
culture and leadership
technology and IT systems
data and management information
business processes and controls.
