Have you ever heard of project success defined as that project being completed “on time, within budget, and to scope?” This traditional definition may have been useful for project leaders in the past; however, there’s much more to consider for present-day programs.

Organisational Design is analogous to an organisation’s architecture, and it is an enabler of a business strategy. It encompasses people, the business operating model, decision authority, role design and lastly structure (or hierarchy).

An Organisational Diagnostic is a tool that analyses a business (or department) to identify gaps in the way it functions and opportunities for improvement. They offer effective insights into how a business can perform better. 

Businesses that want to change, pivot, grow and sustain their competitive advantage turn to Organisational Development specialists. Organisational Development (OD) is a field of applied science and draws on Sociology, Psychology (particularly Industrial-Organisational Psychology) and theories of motivation, leadership, learning and more.

Conversely, change can be more transformative and driven by innovation, growth, restructuring and mergers, compliance/regulations and more.

Then you might get asked, “What’s our first stop?” and “Do we have enough fuel to get there?”
