Organisational design is far more than a box and wire diagram with names and reporting structure. An effective and efficient organisational design must marry together a number of key and complex elements. The processes and value streams must be fully understood, the matrix interaction to support functions must be clear. The flowdown of roles, responsibilities and accountabilities must be fully thought through both in terms of results and in terms of behaviours. The organisational control mechanics must then be layered in to ensure structured control is maintained.

E² as standard recommend carrying out a review of an organisations design as part of every analysis. We find that this work allows the identification of areas where the organisation structure is not allowing business to perform optimally. This is important from an effectiveness perspective and it also exposes areas where efficiencies may be realised.
