Organizational Structure
Organize the work independent of people
What does it mean to Organize the Work?
The lack of structure within a business is a major contributor to organizational chaos, disengaged employees, high turnover, and a culture resistant to change. Often, the work performed in a company is organized around the people. Organizational Structure, however, uses the principle to first organize the work, then organize the people doing the work. Proper organizational structure provides greater resilience to successfully weather the constant change confronted in a business.
The Organizational Structure engagement stimulates the critical thinking necessary to instill key building blocks into an organization. The result is greater structure, clarity, and focus for management and staff. These building blocks create enduring structures that support future growth.
Organizational Structure provides a key systemic element commonly missing in organizations through simple, effective structures on which you, your management team, and the staff can rely.
Participants reported an 84% increase in clarity over the roles and responsibilities of positions in the organization.
What does the Advisory Services engagement look like?
An Organizational Structure engagement is facilitated by a Certified Organizational ReWilder and consists of 4 - 6 meetings with the leadership and management teams. The weekly in-person meetings incorporate hands-on activities that apply the concepts covered in the videos to your business.
By the end of the engagement, two major building blocks – Functional Org Chart and Position Role Sheet – are infused into the organization.

The Organizational Structure Guidebook
Organizational Structure is a transformative framework that accomplishes two things: it organizes the work being done as well as the formal relationships within an organization required to get the work done. Organizational Structure brings order to the work, independent of people, allowing for the creation of a resilient, long-lasting organization that can withstand changes in staff and growth.
