A great org structure – like all great foundations – influences behaviour and performance in many invisible ways.
That’s why, at Naman, we partner with companies – new and old – to build robust and agile foundations.
Organisation Restructuring
deals with its various functions, their inter-relationship, departmentalisation, delineation of job roles, and the hierarchical relationship between them.
Broadly speaking, the organisation structure fulfils the following purposes:
While designing the most suitable structure for your business model, you may want certain aspects to be centralised and several others to be decentralised. Some functions will have more agility if there are more hierarchical layers, while others will benefit with a flatter structure.
Nuances like these make the exercise of org restructuring rather complex.
Benefits
At its most basic, a strategically designed org-structure ensures smooth and effective operations plus helps achieve optimum utilization of resources. Its other benefits include:
Find out if your organisation structure is making your employees agile and efficient or is it depleting their energy through repetitive and overlapping responsibilities.
The Naman Advantage
Years of work with businesses of all kinds has affirmed that a solid organisation structure is a reflection of your business model. Before getting to the drawing board, we spend time in understanding the purpose for which your organisation has been formed, the market in which it operates, stakeholders it serves, goals, aspirations, and value system.
Armed with usable insights, we initiate planning and execution in one or both of the following directions.
Organisation Design
Generally speaking, taller and complex organisation designs make it tough to adapt to changing business needs, such as introducing a new business unit or outsourcing. Leaner designs make it simpler to shift employee focus around, revise managerial structures, and redesign job descriptions.
The Naman approach begins with clearly identifying gaps between your current design and the one that will be most suitable to your business model. We identify the value chain and, wherever needed, re-engineer business processes. This alignment is achieved to optimise manpower and other assets while ensuring functional integrity and autonomy.
We test the new norms in a control group, watch their effects, and course correct before implementing across board.
Job Design
Deep and meaningful organisation restructuring demands carefully crafted positions with clear roles and responsibilities. Each unique position entails skillfully designing the job, its content, context, and deliverables.
Over the years, Naman has acquired immense expertise in designing jobs while ensuring non-duplication, overlap, or absence of any activity germane to effective performance. We do a thorough role mapping that also defines inter-relationship of positions and functions across the company.
