Organisation & Governance

Changing markets demand changing strategies, and a new strategy often requires a new organisational design and new governance mechanisms to effectively coordinate people’s efforts. As markets get more complex and volatile, it is important to be able to manage your organisation along multiple axes.

Building the foundation for effectiveness

A successful organisational design, or an alliance design, not only facilitates decision-making and an efficient deployment of resources to increase competitiveness. It also creates clarity and a feeling of unity for employees. key design aspects include the governance model, tasks, roles and added value of the board and the management echelons, the incentive and compensation structure, the performance measurement and
management control systems and the legal structure.

New organisational designs can also be an important source of competitive advantage, for example by combining strong market-focused units with scale creating shared service centers. alternatives are pooling the capabilities and resources of two or more firms
In Joint ventures, alliances and networks or unbundling the internal value chain and outsourcing capital intensive and non-value adding parts to third parties.

Nolan, Norton & Co. helps managers select their optimal organisational design and assists in implementing the new organisation and governance structure.
