2. WHAT IS ORGANIZATION DESIGN
• Organization design is a process for shaping the way organizations are structured
and run
• It involves many different aspects of life at work, including team formations,shift
patterns,lines of reporting,decision-making procedures,communication channels,
and more.
• Organization design can help any type of organization to achieve its goals.
• Sometimes, a large scale reorganization is necessary. At other points,more subtle
shifts in structures and systems can ensure that an organization continues to
thrive.

3. SUCCESS IN ORGANIZATION DESIGN
1. Build on your strengths
2. Go beyond lines and boxes
3. Know your roles
4. Rock your roles
5. Support a culture of learning

4. • 1. Build on your strengths:-
know thyself means go ahead and acknowledge upfront that
retooling
Your organization is a tough rock to tackle. Then identify who you are
Pinpoint the unique role that your company holds against the competition
Define where these strengths will take you in the new world order. Once that is
clear, chances are the way you shape your teams won’t mimic any other company’s
organizational structure.
You may find that teams organized around experiences will help drive your
organization forward and development teams to collaborate in automating the
infrastructure.
A technology team should be built to accentuate the unique offerings and
capabilities of the company while allowing for flexibility in order to achieve strategic
goal faster and better.

5. • Go beyond line and boxes:-
at the same time,building on your strengths doesn’t mean doing what you
have always done.
The following questions to assess your organization’s readiness to move beyond
charts and become more design centric
• Are our vision and strategy aligned with the changing world?
• Does our current functional design have good checks and balances?
• Is our design strong and vibrant and are we being effective ?
Most importantly thinking beyond the organization design gives you the chance to
move decision making throughout the company so that teams can be empowered
to think and act

6. • 3. Know your roles:-
the best time to get your organization design right is before you grow your team. That’s
right – expanding your team should happen after you’ve clearly defined the impact you need from
new roles.
Many organizations lack definition around technical roles. The process of defining roles is
traditionally the responsibility of human resources(HR) .HR Departments struggle to update and
create new roles as technology advances and business need shift – causing frustation for the
organization.
4. Rock your roles:-
Equally important is the development of those hires – and all team members – throughout their
entire careers. Offer them ongoing resources and training to ensure they continue to be innovative
thinkers and doers. Design roles that work the muscles of the people in them – that goes for both
leaders and technology experts alike.

7. • 5. Support a culture of learning:-
this one is simple: to keep employees learning,work learning into every day
Only 34% percent of U.S. employees are engaged at work, and only half of them find meaning
and fulfillment in their roles,then there’s room for improvement when considering organizational
design
It’s small,continued efforts that make a difference.
Organizations that make professional development a high priority and provide a range of flexible
training options mapped to business needs are the most successful at keeping their teams at peak
performance and skill level.

8. FAILURE IN ORGANIZATION DESIGN
• System and structural failures
• Financial management failure
• Customer and marketing failure
• Failure at the top

9. • 1. System and structure failure:-
the system you have in place to get the job done are flawed,at best fatal at worst
System failure in companies can have many causes,including a flawed development process,too
many defects causing rising costs and overload or defects. Without the focus being on the causes
of system failure , we run the risk of poor applications and failing complexities.
• 2. Financial management failure:-
the accounting department does not properly track expenses and departments are
overspending,thus cutting into the organization’s profit margin. Too many businesses fail because
of lack of finacial viability or poor accounting procedures.

10. • 3. Customer and marketing failure:-
you have a poor marketing plan and you have no idea who your niche client base really is.
Today,its imperative that you know who your market is and how viable it is for the short and long
term.without that certainity,you will make the wrong decisions regarding what to invest in,with
often dire results.
• 4. Failure at the top:-
upper management isn’t making educated decisions,or members of upper management are
simply making very bad decisions despite the resources they have available. Too many managers
we work with are too operational in their outlook..
