Organization Design

Work Elimination
Competitive data shows large organizations that are not effective, efficient or productive have too many layers and small spans of control.

The majority of organizations contemplate cost reduction by just asking managers to cut jobs by “x%”. This works as a diet in which, it trims fat in short-term, but after a few months it adds up again as work was not eliminated.

De-layering is a structured process that focuses on identifying the root cause and value-add of each layer to focus on cutting unnecessary work (e.g.: checking the checkers, paperwork bureaucracy, etc). It sets a foundation for a leaner, flexible and more focused organization.

The De-layering strategy helps a company to:

>	Eliminate bureaucracy
>	Become more agile with decision making
>	Respond quicker to the changing market
>	Focus the workforce on the work that must be done vs. “nice to have”

Virtual Cross-functional Loose networks Continuous improvement and changes	More Flexible Team-working Multi-skilled Employee ownership and involvement
