Organisation Design

Using competitor, structural and role benchmarking to inform your organisation design.

We conduct extensive competitor benchmarking to help you understand the benefits, pitfalls and trends in organisational and role design to ensure you stay ahead of your competitors and your organisation is future-fit.

Getting organisational design right.

Businesses need to evaluate their organisational structure in response to transformation and change. People determine whether change management succeeds or fails, and HR leaders need to ensure they are well informed to advise the leadership team and support the decision making process.

Accurate data on competitors' teams, functions, or leadership structure can be used to help define how and where functions should be structured. This could be geographically, functionally, or by product or service line.

We can provide confidential insights into the detailed organisational structure and operations of other companies. As a result of this research, your HR leaders can make well-informed restructuring decisions about the best way to set up your teams for success.
