This PPT slide, part of the 103-slide Organization Design Toolkit PowerPoint presentation, titled "Guide to Organizational Structures" serves as a comprehensive overview of the framework for organizational design. It begins by defining the guide's purpose, which is to outline various organizational structures, particularly focusing on the matrix structure. The text indicates that the guide highlights both advantages and disadvantages of these structures, providing critical success factors and alternatives.

The slide further details the appropriate timing for utilizing this guide. It emphasizes the importance of using it during the high-level design phase when evaluating potential organizational structures. This is crucial for organizations undergoing change, as it helps in defining the case for change and conducting a gap analysis between current and desired states.

The process is broken down into six distinct phases. Phase 1 involves defining the case for change, which sets the foundation for the subsequent steps. Phase 2 focuses on conducting a gap analysis, identifying discrepancies between the current and desired organizational states. Phase 3 is about developing a high-level design, which is essential for visualizing the new structure. The next phases include developing a detailed design, implementing the design, and finally embedding, measuring, and learning from the new structure.

The guide aims to assist organizations in understanding the implications of their structural choices, which is vital for effective management and operational efficiency. This structured approach ensures that organizations can navigate the complexities of organizational design with clarity and purpose.
