Abstract

Senior executives’ experiences and industry research (e.g. McKinsey, 2015) show that the vast majority of restructured organizations typically fail to achieve their intended cost-efficiencies and that less than a quarter of organizational redesign initiatives succeed. A major contributing factor is that insufficient consideration is given to deciding which of the organizations’ current leaders are most likely to be effective when challenged with increased responsibilities. All too often, leaders are moved around like interchangeable parts, when, in fact, their backgrounds, experiences, and skill sets might be insufficient to achieve the objectives required for the new role they have been given.

We offer a proven and effective approach for addressing these all-too-common challenges. Evidence-Based Organizational Redesign Assessments help organizations leverage their existing and prospective leaders’ demonstrated experiences, strengths, and interests to their mutual advantage. These include providing customized strategies to mitigate their risks of making the wrong hiring decisions and ensuring that the individuals selected to lead each restructured functional area will be able to achieve and exceed the goals and objectives which the reorganization seeks to accomplish. Such strategies are in precise alignment with the world-class Baldrige Excellence Framework and its Criteria, related to 1.1 senior leadership, 4.2 information and knowledge management, 5.1 workforce environment, and 5.2 workforce engagement.

Overall, the focus of these transparent approaches is to help organizations retain those individuals who have what it takes to not only do their own jobs well, but also to develop others, promote continuity, and facilitate knowledge transfer. Such extraordinary people are those who can be relied upon to accomplish more with fewer resources.
