Adaptive organizational development

Many traditional organizational models fail today due to the so-called “silo mentality.” Managers optimize their areas of responsibility, but potential and strategic value creation are lost in between.

Organizational development is a tricky task because all those involved often pursue personal interests and objectives that are not always in line with the interests of the company. That is why it makes sense to seek the support of experienced external consultants and facilitators to identify conflicts of interest, make them transparent, and resolve them constructively.

Today, it is more important than ever to develop organizations along value streams and ensure that employees do not get bogged down, but rather have clear, value-adding roles whose goals they implement in their everyday work.

Typical examples of dysfunctional organizations:

  • High coordination and meeting effort to clarify responsibilities and procedures
  • Many regular meetings
  • Long project durations
  • Unclear role profiles and objectives
  • Permanent mixing of operational and strategic priorities.

80% of a company's success is determined by social dynamics, i.e., the way people in organizations work together, resolve conflicts, and develop innovations.


A modern organizational structure distinguishes between
 operational and exploratory areas:

Operational roles and business areas

provide tangible customer benefits in everyday life. They bring direct added value and should be burdened as little as possible with administrative or strategic tasks.

Explorative
areas

are teams or units tasked with identifying and exploiting strategic opportunities or avoiding strategic risks. These are often project tasks that are most effectively implemented in the form of mission-driven teams.

An organization is effective and efficient when


  • the process organization is market- and customer-oriented
  • the organizational structure bundles competencies and minimizes interfaces
  • the relevant roles are described clearly and concisely
  • these roles are played by people whose strengths match the tasks
  • decision-making processes and committees are defined at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels.
  • it is clear which future skills need to be built up and developed
  • all participants know what contribution they make to overall success in their daily work
