Organizational Design: How to Win in the Current Economic CrisisTimes are tough for most businesses. Aggressive competition, demanding customers, new technologies, global markets, and now a severe downturn in the economy are putting unprecedented pressure on many companies who must rethink the way they do business or, in some cases, face extinction. The leaders in companies that are achieving success in these difficult times are regaining their balance and finding success by resetting their strategies, refocusing on their most important customers, improving the efficiencies of their core business processes, and redesigning how they go about doing business. At the Center for Organizational Design, we believe that all organizations are perfectly designed to get the results they get. The results you’re currently getting in your organization are not by chance. And although influenced by factors outside your control (not the least of which is the current economic crisis) they also have a great deal to do with factors within your control—most notably your business strategy and how you have designed your organization. By organizational design we’re talking about the integration of people with core business processes, technology and systems. A well-designed organization ensures that the form or infrastructure of the organization matches its purpose and strategy, meets the challenges posed by business realities and significantly increases the likelihood that the collective efforts of people will be successful.
