How to Successfully Change Your Organizational Structure

Did it happen again today?

Are you an overwhelmed leader?

Are you running out of answers as your business needs to evolve but you look around the room and recognize you may not have the talent to achieve your business’s goals?

Are you loyal to the people who helped get you here?

Do you fear having to make difficult decisions?

Good news! There are options.You must lead to get buy in, but you can stay loyal to those who got you there, while still addressing your talent shortfall.

Focus on your organizational design.

Assess what your new organization needs to look like going forward to achieve your strategic objectives.

Draw out what roles and teams need to look like to deliver on the promise to your Board and Investors.

Assign talent, skills, and experience to each box, with no names.

Then go back, and complete a talent inventory of your current organization if you do not have one in place. Be realistic. Be objective.

Match the skills to the roles with the people you have in-house. You will also see obvious vacancies that may require new talent additions.

Realign existing talent, maybe into what may seem as ‘smaller roles’ but in emerging areas of need, and critical to go forward successfully. This could include change management, business analyst, procedure writer, etc. Areas that growing organizations need to evolve properly and those who have been there have the subject matter expertise to support them.

Finally…source new talent for your team, that fits your culture but also fits your need to achieve what is possible in your organization.

Organizational Design is critical to evolving organizations. It is healthy to do this as your business moves through different stages in its evolution.

You have to be willing to make this a priority.

You must be willing to make tough decisions.
