Understanding Organizational Design Types and Complexity PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 103-slide Organization Design Toolkit PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured approach to understanding the nature of an organizational design project before conducting a current state assessment. It emphasizes the importance of defining the project type, which informs the subsequent use of the guide. The slide lists 5 potential project types: creating a new organization, merging existing organizations, combining an internal and external organization, divesting part of an existing organization, and transforming an existing organization.

These categories highlight the diverse scenarios that can arise in organizational design, each requiring tailored strategies and considerations. The slide also features a matrix that categorizes different organizational design projects by complexity and scope. The complexity ranges from low to high, while the scope is divided into whole organization and single division or function.

For instance, projects like forming a new team within a division are classified as low complexity, while integrating an acquired organization falls under high complexity. This matrix serves as a visual tool to help executives quickly assess the nature and demands of various organizational design initiatives.

The examples provided under each category illustrate common projects that organizations may encounter, offering practical insights into what each type entails. This framework is essential for executives to align their strategic objectives with the appropriate organizational design approach, ensuring that they are adequately prepared for the challenges ahead.
