Managment

As an organization experiences more significant growth & expansion, it is not uncommon to have roles within that organization undergo considerable change. Requirements within each role increase and employees take on added responsibility to make sure business continues to thrive. Management and staff are stretched in terms of both time and abilities. As a result, what is gained by growth is offset by the pressure of strained relationships and reduced productivity with negative impact on the bottom line.

Such symptoms indicate the need for broader intervention.

Most growing organizations have an organizational structure that is likely ideal for at least 25-40% less in revenue then what their structure is actually supporting. For example, a growing organization with $150mil in revenue often has a structure that’s suited for doing $80-100mil. Without an intervention, and as growth continues the structure falls further behind which often results in bi-annual re-organizations.

In order to be strategic about organizational design it needs to align with the strategic goals of the organization to not simply support today’s challenges, but support the size and complexity of the organization once it’s reached its 3-5 year plan. Too many organizations get caught up with current demands and a focus of building jobs and structure around current employees rather than focusing on future needs and assigning responsibilities to a role and not an employee.

Concord Consulting has done extensive work evaluating the existing organization structure, roles and　responsibilities, and providing recommendations on a more effective organizational structure including revised job roles　and responsibilities. Our process identifies organizational issues that are obstacles to growth, and provides remedies in the organizational structure and roles/responsibilities
