To produce exceptional business performance, good strategies require an organizational model that fosters focus, expertise and commitment. SECOR's Organization Practice works with clients to achieve this, step-by-step.
Our Organization Practice's goal is to properly align the organization to the business strategy. Our c-level clients appreciate our systematic approach to assessment and design and our deep experience with organizational models found in various industries.
The Need
Whenever a strategy does not produce the expected results, chances are that the organization is not properly aligned. This alignment gap will be visible in various situations:
A review of the business strategy has highlighted a need to focus on some of its customers or markets segments;
The organization is experiencing difficulty with sustaining rapid growth and processes are showing signs of weaknesses that would likely put operations at risk;
Executives would like to take advantage of off-shoring capabilities to boost productivity;
A merger or acquisition's strategic intent involves creating new capabilities by taking the best from two organizations.
Our Approach
We believe a sound organization design is not just one that is adapted to the strategic challenge of the organization, but also one that is embraced by key stakeholders.
Accordingly, our approach to organization design involves rigorous analysis of the strategic capabilities, creative thinking about the alignment of all components of the organization, and political sensitiveness to balance our expertise with the generation of buy-in from key stakeholders. This is achieved through a highly collaborative interaction between our professionals and our client core management team.
