Strategies for Addressing Organizational Design Challenges PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Galbraith Star Model PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of the Galbraith Star Model™ and its effectiveness in addressing the inherent challenges of organizational design. It emphasizes that every structural option carries both advantages and disadvantages. The left section outlines the responses organizations can adopt in light of these challenges. For instance, centralizing internet-related activities into a single unit can streamline operations, while merging smaller units can enhance professional management of internet resources. The positives highlighted include reduced duplication and improved customer-facing operations.
However, the slide also notes significant negatives. Decision-making may become distanced from the core work, potentially leading to an internal monopoly within the central unit. Additionally, there may be a lack of responsiveness to other departments that rely on internet services.
The right section details actionable strategies to mitigate these negatives. Organizations are advised to design appropriate processes and staffing policies that align with their structural goals. Presenting a service plan during the planning phase is crucial for ensuring that the central unit effectively supports the broader organization. Leadership involvement is emphasized, as teams must debate and agree on service levels.
Performance measurement based on planned goals is also critical, as is staffing the central unit with a mix of permanent and rotating managers to foster diverse perspectives. The overall impact of these strategies is an increased likelihood of achieving the desired positives while minimizing the associated negatives. This slide serves as a practical guide for executives looking to refine their organizational structures and enhance operational efficiency.
This slide is part of the Galbraith Star Model PowerPoint presentation.
