The art and science of aligning your people to achieve your
desired business goals
Your current organization structure probably didn’t result from
systematic, methodical planning. Most likely it evolved over time,
shaped as much by policies as by politics. It’s fairly obvious when an
organization structure isn’t working well: decision-making slows, fewer
ideas get executed, employees are less engaged, and revenue growth
stagnates. Yet, comprehensive redesigns can be intimidating, complicated
and emotionally charged. Tweaking and layering new over old is never the
way to go and causes a whole new set of problems. The answer lies
somewhere in between.
At Swairah, we see Organization Design as both an art and
a science.
We help take the emotion out of the decisions by establishing clear
design objectives that are driven by the business strategy and by
economic realities. That’s the science. We also work with you to
identify what will succeed in your unique environment. That’s the art.
Swairah’s framework guides executives through the
complexities of Organization Design.
To get the best result, you need to take the broad view, working
step-by-step through the myriad tradeoffs. It is not an easy process but
it is a manageable one. Whether you want to modify or change the
structure of your organization, Swairah can help you make change
stick.
