structure renovation

A good organisation structure enables you to get the work done easily. Typical indicators that an organisation structure is not working are:

• Decision making is tedious and communications to the frontline take too long
• Individuals have to negotiate unnecessarily with others to get even basic components of work done
• Leaders doing too much low-level operational work, frustrating lower level managers with their ‘dipping down’ and ‘micromanagement’
• Centralised and divisional roles doing the same work leading to conflicts, for example, finance reporting and services
• Head office doing work better done closer to the operations and vice-versa
