The digital core of organizational design

Capabilities

Enterprise Operating Models

We take a strategy-led and data-driven systems approach to enterprise design. Our work delivers the right balance of agility and scale, and growth and efficiency required by today’s complex business strategies.

Functions and Shared Services

We have the experts and benchmarks to guide design of a single function as well as complete global business services architecture. We bring technology and operations insights to provide a full suite of structure, location, staffing, and automation options.​

Activation

The design work isn’t complete until leaders are making decisions that lead to new outcomes. We ensure the right connections and conversations are wired into the organization and leaders are practicing and modeling new ways of work.​

Optimization and Innovation

We can help you build the mechanisms to measure design impacts and monitor the health of the organization. Proactive adjustments, based on robust data-based insights, allows for continuous evolution and avoids disruptive restructuring events.

Digitally powered business models require organizations that can deliver better decision-making at the center and the edge. Today's organization models must deliver both agility and scale. An investment in organization design is as foundational as an investment in technology.​
