Strategy & Organisation Design Consulting

We use our specialist industry knowledge and experience to provide a distinct organisation design service for communications and marketing leaders across sectors.

Are You Building a Communications Team or Restructuring Your Marketing Department?

In today’s business landscape where we see challenging market conditions, major global events and a need for transformational change, there can often be a mismatch between existing operating models and market realities. Whether through an overly complex structure, loss of clear reporting lines or a lack of role clarity, a poor structure and strategy can account for huge losses in efficiency.

It’s vital that leaders regularly review and evaluate their business functions and strategies to ensure they are fit for purpose and ready to take on the challenges of the future. Those who don’t risk reduced productivity, low employee engagement and missed opportunities for growth. Meanwhile, your competitors who are taking these necessary steps may be prospering and driving a greater gap between you and them.

Taking the steps to review your current structure and regain strategy will put you in a better position to tackle challenging issues and will create a better function for the future.

We’ve supported teams across sectors, bringing insight, data and practical solutions that drive meaningful, lasting change.

How often should I be reviewing my structure?

We tend to see organisations reviewing their structure every 3-5 years. But there are many reasons why they may choose to do so more often as well – for example, during periods of restructuring or reducing headcount.

What scenarios would organisation design consultancy be suitable?

You might be looking to reduce headcount, create efficiencies, or simply sense-check whether your current structure still supports your goals. Perhaps your team has evolved without a clear plan, or you want to benchmark against how similar organisations are set up.

How do you start a project?

Every organisation is different, so we always begin with an exploratory conversation to find out what it is that you may benefit from. We spend time with you getting to know your organisation, your challenges, and what you’re looking to achieve.
