Think about it…

In a time where more and more decisions are based on data…

… re-organizations still remain a gamble

But hey, re-organizations revitalize us?

Isn’t that positive?

Probably!But re-organizations usually

entail high costs as well!

Firstly, consider the direct costs of adapting processes and systems to the new organization

Secondly, consider the indirect costs of lower productivity as everyone reposition themselves in the new organization

?

Finally, the new organization bring its own unforeseen challenges

To sum up: the bottom line is not always pretty

So it makes good sense to consider the alternatives carefully

Recall that the ultimate purpose of re-organizing is to change how people interact!

Luckily interactions can be cultivated and nudged in multiple ways

Example: If you want to break down silos…

…re-work cross-organizational access

and encounters

Example: If you want better utilization of competencies… …re-work resource

allocation and use of communities

Example: If you want to improve alignment…

…re-work goals and

rewards

OK, you get the point

An added benefit of focusing on people interactions: It can be measured

So…

Before re-organizing,

re-work
