Organisation Design


Once you have formulated a successful, dynamic strategy, the next step is to ensure that you have designed an organisation that can deliver the results you expect.

Some of the elements that make up a successful design include: an organisational architecture that is matched to the particular dynamics of your business environment; a carefully designed set of processes and systems that support the capabilities of your people; clearly defined roles and responsibilities; and a recognition and reward approach that is aligned with your objectives.


People are the critical factor for organisations in much of Europe, Australasia and North America. As the economies of these countries continue to move from the industrial age to the creative age (we think this is more helpful than the term knowledge economies), the ability to engage and align their people becomes the core competency that differentiates successful organisations from the rest. For the emerging economies this is also becoming true at a rapid pace. The speed at which these economies are developing means they are likely to make the transition through their industrial ages in a matter of years rather than a century or more as was experienced the original industrial nations.

Here’s a simple illustration of the transition that ‘agile’, ‘creative’, ‘knowledge-based’, ‘innovative’ etc. organisations need to make:
