This PPT slide, part of the 42-slide Organizational Design for High Performance PowerPoint presentation, presents a balanced overview of organization design, categorizing insights into three sections: the good, the bad, and the practical. The left column highlights positive aspects, emphasizing that effective organization design can address issues at any layer of the organization and align with strategic imperatives. It recognizes the interdependence of design building blocks, suggesting a holistic approach to organizational challenges. This perspective is crucial for leaders aiming to foster agility and responsiveness within their teams.

The middle column outlines potential pitfalls. A focus on structure alone can lead to misalignment with other critical components, increasing complexity and burdening the organization with unnecessary layers of committees. This section warns against the obsession with achieving a "perfect" design, which often overlooks the human element, a vital consideration in any organizational change.

The right column shifts to practical recommendations. It stresses that organization design should be viewed as a change management process, highlighting the emotional nature of such transitions. Clear communication is essential to navigate this emotional landscape effectively. It also advises that the "right design" should rarely be adapted for different industries, suggesting that context matters significantly. Lastly, it points out that structural design should come before decisions about other building blocks, reinforcing the idea that a solid foundation is key to successful implementation.

Overall, this slide serves as a valuable resource for leaders contemplating organization design, offering a nuanced understanding of its complexities and practical considerations.
