Helping to Manage Structural Changes... While Still Running the Business.

Most companies don’t make huge mistakes with organizational design. Typically, the real problems are in implementation … and finding a way to get back to ‘normal’ as quickly as possible. For an organization to restore focus on its business and customers, it needs to find effective ways to:

• retain the most talented employees while downsizing
• minimize the negative effects on morale and maintain employees’ trust in leadership
• avoid declines in business results during the period of change
• minimize turf battles as responsibilities are shifted
• prevent reversion to past ways of working, higher headcount, and higher cost levels

OSI helps your organization communicate on a broad scale about why the reorganization is necessary, and how things will be when it is complete. We work to ensure clear and sensitive communication of timelines, processes, and transition policies, including structured forums for two-way communication.

We offer an objective point of view and deep understanding of the potential benefits (and pitfalls) of organizational design alternatives. We can help to develop selection and de-selection criteria, as well as policies and processes to provide fair and dignified treatment for those being separated. Just as importantly, we have extensive experience in planning and implementing the steps necessary to identify and retain key talent. We also have expertise in identifying, monitoring, and reporting on key metrics to evaluate the reorganization process.

In short, we make sure your plan has all the elements required for success.
