Organization Design
Organisation design shapes structure, roles, decision rights and governance so an organisation can deliver its strategy. Tuscan diagnoses issues such as slow decisions, duplicated work and unclear accountability, then designs structures, workforce plans, job titles, delegation of authority and committee structures that lift performance.
What problems does organisation design solve?
Slower and poor decisions, higher operating costs, duplication of work, conflicts, lack of accountability, low employee morale and engagement.
Organisation design rarely works in isolation. It sits naturally alongside our competency models, change management and HR and people analytics services, so the structures you build are measured, embedded and staffed with the right capabilities.
How do we approach organisation design?
Organization design consists of defining a formal process to integrate people, structure, process, performance metrics and rewards. With our effective organization design approach, we help companies enable strategy by understanding core organizational capabilities and then integrating the key factors around these core capabilities. We help companies in conducting detailed diagnostics and developing organization structure and governance frameworks that increase business performance.

Organization structure is an important aspect of organization design process. Key decisions include whether to design the organization structure around functions, products, geographies, customers or a matrix structure which is a combination of any of these factors. With the rise of the digital marketplace and virtual working, decentralized, team-based organization structures are increasingly disrupting old business models. More decisions on organization structure include core vs non-core activities, the breath and depth of the structure, the degree of formalization, centralization, specialization and outsourcing considerations.
An effective organization design process calls for organization structure to be supported by appropriate job titles, job descriptions, governance framework and allocated resources (i.e. workforce plan) in the right places to improve efficiency and increase productivity.
