Organisation Design
Designing organisation architecture that creates cohesive ways of working and structures to optimise team effectiveness and drive alignment.
Our expertise spans everything from crafting and executing People strategies to establishing effective HR operating models. We’ve led M&A projects, including TUPE processes, and excel in nurturing talent, while helping leaders and their teams unlock their full potential.
Done right, organisation design is intentional and purpose-driven. It reflects a way of operating that fits your business, your customers, and your employees. We’re proud of our expertise in aligning people, processes, and technology to build structures, hierarchies, and the necessary capabilities to support your vision, goals, and strategy. We think holistically, ensuring you have the foundations of a great organisation design so you can focus on bringing it to life, staying agile, and adapting quickly to environmental or market shifts.
How We Do It
The best results come when we collaborate closely with your teams and leaders. We put you at the centre, co-creating an organisation design that works now and in the future. Our approach is about developing leaders who inspire change and energise the workforce to achieve meaningful results. We dive deep into understanding your business, culture, operations, and ways of working. By applying our systems thinking, expertise and critical design insights, we work with you to build a sense of shared ownership that stands the test of time.
Restructuring
As businesses grow, organisation structures often become complex, less agile, and slower to adapt to change. Responsibilities can blur, and the focus may shift from achieving outcomes to simply maintaining processes. Restructuring helps teams remain agile, responsive to market opportunities, and prepared for industry shifts. It can also drive business growth by encouraging diverse ideas and approaches while ensuring the structure aligns with objectives.
Leaders may decide to revisit and refine their business structure to enhance performance and deliver better results. Our partnership approach and tailored framework help you to take that next step, evaluating your entire organisation to identify what’s working and what’s not. Together, we’ll optimise interactions across the organisation to ensure you meet customer needs and deliver value for your stakeholders.
Change & Transformation
We’re here to support you, whether you’re rolling out a one-off change in a specific area or driving a complete transformation of your business and operations.
Our approach involves working closely with your leaders, coaching and developing them to equip them with the skills and expertise required for thoughtful, collaborative change implementation. We’ll help you understand how employees experience change and provide a clear framework to identify the key actions needed to make your change effort a success.
With our tools, you’ll be able to [shape, plan, communicate, and monitor activities effectively,] ensuring that change sticks and delivers lasting impact.
Here’s how we can do that:
- If you want an end-to-end review of your operating model
- Support you to plan your transformation journey, developing and implementing communication and engagement plans

- Develop and coach your leaders to lead the change effort ensuring a great experience for your employees
