Similar to an aircraft or a boat, an organization's efficiency is heavily determined by its design and the load it is carrying.

Any organization's success is heavily determined by how purposefully and fittingly it changes. Unfortunately, many organizational structures prevent purposeful and fitting change. Approximately 84% of organizational failures can be traced very specifically to organizational structure or leadership flaws. Nearly 100% of the time, those flaws occur concurrently and in symbiotic fashion.

One very large challenge in the business world is that of getting people to agree on objectives that have no common value to them. Unfortunately, agreement is necessary in order for progress to occur. We have found that an organization's design and optimal staffing is what can most effectively create necessary agreement the quickest. The design is what creates or enables the result.

Our experience has shown that organizational structure limitations and failures tend to have had their genesis quite some time ago, and they also tend to have been engendered via a pre-conceived but flawed perception by one or several key individuals. In an exceedingly large percentage of cases, the flawed organization will have mistakenly evolved through an internally myopic focus instead of through a rightfully placed external market focus.

Our approach to projects of this type usually includes an objective and rapid assessment of both historic and current organizational cultures, structures and staffing within the department, function, division or organization in question. That assessment is then correlated with the historic, current and future strategic objectives of the involved work group. Historic and expected financial and market performance is then evaluated so that the most appropriate and contributive organization may be peacefully implemented with little or no distraction to the organization or its operation. Our experience has indicated that nearly eighty percent of the time a major redesign of the organization is not necessary. More frequently, the solution lies in minor organizational structure and staffing adjustments. Our solutions in this area are designed to peacefully create an organization that is exceptionally productive, fully supportive of the entire organization's strategic intent, and able to change as necessitated by business and market conditions, all without negative residual effects.
