Good organisational design = business success

Organisations that take time to thoughtfully design their structure to align with their strategy consistently outperform those that don't.
I'm currently working with a client navigating this challenge, and it's reminded me of a common misconception: an org chart ≠ organisational design.
These are the key principles for effective organisational design:
Align structure with strategy
Build capability strategically
Design around roles, not individuals
Invest time in the foundation
Too many organisations jump straight to creating org charts without doing the foundational work.
Take the time to get your organisational design right. Your business results will thank you.
