Organization Design: Clarifying Roles, Decisions and Workflows

Organization design should clarify required work, decision rights and accountability before changing boxes on an organization chart.

Organization design should clarify required work, decision rights and accountability before changing boxes on an organization chart.

Start with strategy and work

Identify the capabilities, recurring activities and management decisions the business needs to deliver its plan.

Map accountability

Assign one accountable owner to each critical outcome and separate ownership from support, consultation and information.

Check spans and layers

Review whether managers have a realistic number of direct reports and whether each layer adds a distinct decision or coordination value.

Implement through workflows

Update job descriptions, authority, RACI, meetings, reports and performance expectations so the designed structure operates in practice.
