Organization design that helps rather than hinders your business growth us about much more than organograms. Information flows, decision making structures and informal networks are all critical. Traditional organisation design theory is out of touch. It focuses on formal reporting lines rather than the increasingly common matrix structures, and on the formal hierarchy rather than the informal, political environment in which most people operate day-to-day. It views issues such as management reporting and organizational culture separately, when in reality they are interlinked elements of the organizational system as a whole. Simplifying Organisational Design will help you focus on the problem you are trying to solve, for example cutting costs, improving morale, shifting work towards value-add activities, or increasing agility. It takes an up-to-date, practical framework which shows you how to drive growth through identifying and eliminating the complexity that is slowing you down.
