Advisory in practice / Organizational Design
Clarifying responsibilities as a business grows
Growth often changes who needs to make a decision. Clear responsibilities and decision authority help management address gaps and overlapping roles.
The advisory question
Leadership disagreement often reflects competing priorities or unclear authority rather than a lack of communication. We examine how decisions are made and whether the organization supports the direction its leaders have agreed.
Organizational DesignWhat we assess
- Decision rights
- Authority, decisions requiring collective agreement, and overlapping responsibilities.
- Resource allocation
- Whether budgets, staffing, and management attention reflect stated priorities.
- Organizational friction
- Conflicting incentives, approval delays, and unresolved dependencies between teams.
