An effective organisation will have at its heart an agile structure, supported by efficient processes and simple working practices.

Does yours?

Do you need to restructure?

Organisation restructuring is more than simply rearranging names and boxes on an organisation chart. Rather it is the outcome of realigning structures, processes and people to meet the needs of your strategy, sometimes radically.

There are some obvious triggers for organisational restructuring:
• Your business performance is suffering, and you need to streamline parts of your organisation to    reduce costs
• You need to reconfigure one / some of your functions to maintain competitiveness
• You're expanding, perhaps due to a merger / acquisition, and need to consolidate head office and    support functions
• You've set up a new business, or entering new markets

Structures, processes and ways of working can all become outdated, and disconnected from the wider strategic goals of the organisation. They become ineffective if they have been put in place to address specific issues that are now not of concern, or the environment within which the organisation operates has changed.

If your structures, processes and ways of working do not meet the needs of your strategy then your chances of delivering effective outcomes are drastically reduced. Similarly, if you only change your structures without aligning your processes or ways of working you will find that your new structure is merely that, a structure chart; it looks ok on paper, but in practice it's disconnected. It may be a cliche, but rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic didn't do anyone any good.

How we go about it

We believe our approach for organisational restructuring is the best around.

We use a proprietary model - the 7days Organisation Effectiveness Model (The Wheel) - which is a pragmatic and highly objective approach that facilitates the journey of any organisation to become more effective and aligned to its strategy.

It enables you to review and then modify your business processes, ways of working and structure of roles in the full knowledge of the implications and the change activities required to make the 'restructuring' work successfully. It ensures that you always keep a clear line of sight to your customer.

Using this model we work with you to 're-align' your organisation to its strategy, identifying the areas of change and driving through the improvements to make you a more effective organisation.

Through this approach we will ensure that your organisation optimises the value that its structures, processes and ways of working can have. Our experiences will allow us to share with you our views and best practice benchmarking for future success.

Why 7days?

We have the ability to transform an organisation to deliver to its strategic goals at pace, with energy and with a motivated management and workforce.
