OD logo

Organization Design (OD) includes the design and implementation of the Organization's Structure, governance, roles, competencies and skills that are required to support strategic, business and transformational goals.

Instead of merely addressing the Organisation Structure, Peoplewiz treats it as one element of the comprehensive OD approach that includes alignment between vision, strategy, structure, people, competencies, processes, rewards and culture.

Our OD process is a hybrid of both top-down view that is driven by the business, vision and strategy as well as bottom-up view that is captured through an AI powered platform, Reconfig.

What is Organization Design?

Design of an Organization is not an exact science. Our approach is to design and define criteria, extensively research and benchmark, create guiding principles, propose options and facilitate consensus amongst stakeholders.

Organization Design (OD) defines the design and implementation of the Organization's structure, governance, roles, competencies and skills that are required to support strategic, business and transformational goals.

Learning from
STAR Model & Galbraith

PeopleWiz OD consultants adopt the well-established STAR Model by Galbraith as the foundation for diagnosing and designing Organizations. There is no one-size-fits-all organization design.

All designs have merit but not for all companies in all circumstances. The design, or combination of designs, that should be chosen is the one that best meets the criteria derived from the strategy. Some of the Organizational Designs that our OD experts have created and implemented successfully across our clients are

Change Management and Organization Design

Before introducing a change initiative, it is essential to assess the impact on the overall organizational structure and identify changes in roles and responsibilities. If structural realignment becomes critical due to the process changes, PeopleWiz Change Manager guides how best to organize employee groups around the future state process. A process-based organization design would involve using a role mapping technique to identify the tasks that each role should perform in the desired state. PeopleWiz Change Managers use the desired process flows and role design workshops to:

  • Define all necessary role and responsibility changes.
  • Identify the performance metrics that people can be held accountable to.
  • Pinpoint specific capability gaps and training needs, i.e., additional job skills and knowledge that employees will need to succeed in their new roles.
