Change of direction

When the overall direction and priorities changes, it will also entail a need for a strategy change. This may include internal operational matters & structures - or relationships with the external environment. Themes in a transformation process are "as is" and "to be" scenarios - a gap analysis between the current situation and the future vision, followed by an execution plan. The analysis and dialogue with management and relevant individuals in or outside the organization, as well as an action plan, is developed.

 

Organizational design

A well-functioning organizational design consists of a structure which defines roles, responsibilities and references, central workflows and the desired behavior. Proposals for organizational design and development over a given period based on the existing organization and the company's strategic goals is provided.

The analysis may include analyzing challenges and opportunities, as well as proposals for optimizing the governance structure and processes according to the company’s strategic priorities. The approach encompasses alternatives, including outsourcing and partnership models. These perspectives are included in an action-oriented recommendation, ensuring a holistic and forward-thinking approach.
