Analytics

Organization Analysis Our in-house developed software analyzes the reporting layers and calculates the span of control (number of direct reports). It generates clear graphs and tables per business and function unit which shows how these ‘actual’ metrics compare to benchmark. This analysis is a valuable input in a delayering initiative.
