Organizational Design

Organizational architecture as a source of competitive advantage

Every change to an organization’s design is intended to improve the company’s performance. This is why, over the last 20 years, the specific restructuring of organizational architecture has become a key means of boosting a company’s competitiveness.

A company's management therefore needs to consider the challenges that will arise for executves as a result of the new organizational design being put in place.

However, there is one aspect of the ever more frequent modifying of corporate architectures that is often overlooked. The demanding management roles that new organizational structures require are left to the individual managers to mold as they see fit. Each structure that is selected has implications for the corporate governance of the company. We believe that the way in which top executives perceive and shape their roles is critical for the success of a new organizational design.

In view of this, our services include establishing a competitive organizational design. In concrete terms, this means support with the following issues:

• Diagnosing the functionality of the existing organizational architecture and developing it further in order to create a competitive organizational design.
• Fostering constructive ways in which management and leadership roles are perceived within the company.
• Assessing and optimizing business processes.
