Organizing for Effectiveness in a Global Enterprise

SITUATION:

This leading technology company determined that its Enterprise Architecture capabilities were one of the keys to its future competitiveness. It was mandatory that their infrastructure be cost-effective, flexible, and able to facilitate rapid responses to market demands.

SOLUTION:

We worked in tandem with both technology and business executives to:

• define the key strategic goals and requirements of the organization – aligned directly with corporate business goals
• devise structural options which meet these requirements and assess these structural options for capability, manageability and feasibility
• draft the primary activities, staffing model, and both leadership and individual roles and job descriptions needed for the organization to be successful
• execute — implement the new organizational structure, roles, responsibilities and job descriptions; remove staff with skill-set mismatch, interview/hire new skill-sets (including new CTO)

RESULTS:

The new organization is the catalyst for substantial changes being made to enhance the company’s competitive position – including efforts to reduce costs and complexity as well as improve stability.
