This PPT slide, part of the 20-slide Organization Design Current State Assessment Guide PowerPoint presentation, titled "Step 2: Analyze Information - Structure" focuses on understanding the organizational structure and its implications. It outlines key questions that executives should consider when assessing their organization’s design. The first section addresses the current organizational structure, prompting leaders to evaluate whether it is functional, geographical, product-based, or a hybrid. This is crucial as the alignment of structure with the overarching strategy can significantly impact performance.
Next, the slide discusses dependencies within the organization. It encourages leaders to think about how different parts of the organization interact and influence one another. This is particularly important for identifying potential inefficiencies or misalignments that could hinder collaboration.
The reporting lines are also highlighted. The slide prompts a review of how these lines are defined and whether adjustments are necessary. Clear reporting lines are essential for accountability and effective communication.
Centralization versus decentralization is another critical aspect. The slide asks whether the organization is appropriately centralized or decentralized, which can affect decision-making speed and responsiveness.
Span of accountability is addressed, emphasizing the need to clarify who is responsible for various elements within the organization. This clarity can enhance accountability and performance tracking.
Finally, the slide touches on communication channels, stressing the importance of effective communication across teams and departments. Understanding how knowledge is shared can lead to improved collaboration and innovation.
The key data sources listed, such as organization structure diagrams and exit interview notes, suggest a data-driven approach to this analysis. The example finding reinforces the importance of geographical considerations in organizational design, highlighting that strategic decisions must align with operational realities.
