All organizations are perfectly designed to get the results they are getting. If they want different result, they must change the way they do things.

Organization design involves more than just the reporting structures. Ready About will work with you to understand and adjust both the formal and the informal aspects of structure, process and human resources to ensure that these interconnected areas support the desired strategy.

Structure: Organizational structure includes the “org chart” defining hierarchies and reporting structures, as well as roles and responsibilities of each functional area. It also involves the relationships and collaboration among individuals and teams, and informal influence.

Process: Information flow, data management, decision-making, workflow and business procedures all are part of the picture. So are shared language – how we talk about what we do – and informal expectations of behavior.

Rewards: Pay and bonus structures need to support the activities necessary for a new organization design and strategy to succeed. But rewards also include career paths and informal rewards and recognition.

People: You need the right people, skills and attitudes to support your company’s strategy. That means your recruiting, hiring, job descriptions, training and talent management all need to align.
