Organisational Advisory
Corporate Synergy provides independent organisational advice to leadership teams determining how structure, workforce and organisational capability should support the organisation’s strategic direction.
Strategic direction can change faster than an organisation’s structure, workforce and capability. When that happens, organisations can find themselves configured for requirements that no longer reflect what they need to deliver.
Corporate Synergy helps leadership determine what needs to change and what the organisation must be capable of doing differently as a result.
Where leadership needs an organisational decision
The appropriate assignment depends on the organisational decision leadership needs to make and whether that decision concerns the organisation as a whole or a defined part of it. Assignments may be commissioned independently or combined where the decision has implications across structure, workforce and organisational capability.
Organisational Review
Appropriate when leadership needs an independent assessment of whether the organisation is configured to support its strategic direction.
An Organisational Review examines the organisation as a whole, assessing structure, workforce and organisational capability against its strategic direction. It sets out organisation-wide findings, the implications for organisational effectiveness and delivery, and a recommended direction.
Functional and Operational Review
Appropriate when leadership needs to understand whether a function, field office, regional unit or operation remains fit for its mandate and delivery requirements.
A Functional and Operational Review examines the mandate, responsibilities, workforce capacity, organisational capability and interfaces of the defined function, field office, regional unit or operation in relation to its strategic direction and delivery responsibilities. It provides findings and a recommended direction.
Organisation Design and Operating Model
Appropriate when changes in strategy, operating conditions or delivery requirements mean the organisation may no longer be configured for what it needs to deliver.
An Organisation Design and Operating Model assignment defines how responsibilities, authority and work should be organised to support the organisation’s strategic direction and future delivery. It provides a recommended design covering structure, functional mandates, reporting relationships, decision rights and organisational interfaces.
Organisational Capability and Workforce Planning
Appropriate when the workforce and capabilities that supported the organisation’s current requirements may no longer match what future delivery requires.
An Organisational Capability and Workforce Planning assignment assesses workforce capacity, workload requirements, skills and organisational capabilities against current and future delivery needs. It identifies material capability and skills gaps, workforce implications and critical dependencies requiring attention, providing leadership with an evidence-based basis for determining where capacity needs to change, strengthen or be retained.
A connected organisational view
Each assignment addresses a defined organisational requirement while recognising the interdependence of structure, workforce and organisational capability.
