Robert Nascenzi
CEO, Claritas Software
San Diego, California

Our business was mature and our brand was strong, but we had been through a couple of mergers and the executive team was a mix of past competitors. Our Teamwork had broken down and the company was under increasing pressure from outside sources. Alignment among the executive team was critical. Michael Brainard provided an effective method to diagnosis the team, which helped me to restructure the team and helped the executives themselves achieve greater alignment across functions. His process centered approach, business acumen, facilitation skills, and pragmatism helped us over the course of 6 months to work better as a team and to renew and gain focus around our Mission, Vision, Values, and core functional strategies."

Organizational Design & Structure

Organizational Design is comprised of four design factors and culture.

Design factors are the change levers of sub-systems that act to support the strategy of the organization. The four factors are:

• core activity systems,
• structural systems,
• measurement systems,
• and the human resource system.

Each of theses systems must not only work in conjunction with one another but also must be pointed at customer acquisition and retention, profitability, operational efficiency, and employee engagement and development. As the strategy evolves and changes we, along with your leadership team, must be ready willing and able to evolve some or all of the sub-systems of organizational design.
