Build a Flat, Responsive, Efficient, and Strategic Organization Built for Dynamic Growth - With businesses facing unprecedented disruption; the ability to quickly make decisions is critical.
The majority of organizations use a hierarchical model. In this paradigm, accountability gets buried in the depth of complex organizational structures. With businesses facing unprecedented disruption, having the flexibility and speed to quickly make decisions, and get work done has never been more important.
Radically flatten the structure to minimize layers and increase speed
Cumbersome management layers are the enemy of speed and agility. Leaders should throw out the old rules about the most effective ratios for spans and layers. In a highly digitally enabled world—where bosses are there to empower and enabletheir employees, not micromanage them.
Build a flexible, collaborative, and confront and resolve environment to tackle rapidly evolving problems
Develop an approach of positive accountability and conflict resolution. Confrontation is natural and healthy when leadership teams learn to confront, resolve, and move forward. Building a collaborative environment is a critical link to dynamic growth.
Provide a stable home base for employees to ensure long-term career development
The significance of understanding and supporting your employees' personal and professional goals can set the stage for employee engagement, loyalty and driving performance within your organization, yet very few leaders realize the link between employee performance and your employee's personal growth.
Empower your Leadership Team
Team empowerment at work happens when a group of employees has the responsibility and authority to make decisions. Too often member of the Executive team become single points of failure issuing orders and micromanaging even the smallest of details of their management team’s actions.
Effective decision making is one of the most important elements in driving company value. A flattened structure can accelerate decision making by minimizing unnecessary management layers; ensuring people are clear about their roles, responsibilities, and decision rights; and empowering the front lines to make decisions within the boundaries of company culture.
For the new structure to be effective, leaders must ensure the organization has an effective performance management system, clear strategic planning and resource allocation processes, a transparent and dynamic talent marketplace.
