‘
A group of 4 started a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software whose aim is to support
organizations; mostly in the insurance and financial sector; in managing their customer
relationships, portfolio, and experiences.
Upon broadening their service offerings across organizations of several sectors; and, due to market
volatility, complexity, and difficulty in growing their portfolio; they started developing several
software which lead them to losing track of their initial mission.
To respond to the diversified portfolio, they started recruiting talents of different backgrounds which
lead to a high payroll and a confused HR strategy resulting from a confused organizational strategy
with no clear goal and objective. They needed a solution fast to efficiently react to VUCA…
They heard of “Purpose Led Transformation/ HR”…
What could be the purpose statement at the organizational level and a Purpose Led HR Strategy?
11. Page 11
“Inspire and nurture
the human spirit – one
person, one cup and
one neighborhood at a
time”
B2C companies
“We believe in
challenging the status
quo. We believe in
thinking differently”
“Changing the Way We
Work, Live, Play, and
Learn”
“Deliver a better future” “Imagination at work”
B2B companies
“Better power for a
changing world”
“Promote and spread
happiness”
“Creating possibilities
for riders, drivers, and
cities”
Define your purpose!
Purpose-led companies have a clear reason for being: we know what they and their HR
strategies stand for

With the purpose statement in mind; define the gaps of this structure?
(Please use the hand-outs on your tables)
14. Page 14
To analyse it better, think of the following…
What is core and what is support?
What are the design principles and philosophy behind the structure?
What are they trying to achieve?
What is their definition of organizational continuity: teaming and culture?
Is the organization bound by geography?
What is the structure’s biggest driver: service, product, customer?

A few tips to memorize on developing structures…
Organization design is Organization design is not
Organization structure (includes spans of control and layering);
with minimal bureaucracy
Performance management
Leadership development
Inclusion and diversity
Talent management
Culture
Information systems and technology
design
Process design
Roles
Resources
Structure
Capability
Organization design
Span of Control is limited to 6-7 reportees
Job/role design (includes role accountabilities,
responsibilities and indicative metrics) need to
align to structure and not be redundant
SMEs seek LEAN structures
Lean structures doesn’t mean to limit
capabilities; rather regroup those
Empires are not required
Bureaucracy is out and teaming is in
A box; does not mean a person
Stage out and transitioning structures can be
created to attend to different maturity stages
