Organizational Design & Position Classification

Questions and answers

Yes. We specialize in organizational design and effectiveness studies. Organizational design is the process of aligning the organizational and position structures with the strategic mission and objectives of the organization.  We review and analyze the organization’s mission, functions, strategic objectives, work processes, and work loads; determine the skills mix (occupational types, grade levels, and numbers of positions in each occupational category) required to achieve strategic objectives; identify functional interrelationships; identify workflow and work process bottlenecks and inefficiencies; recommend work process and workflow reengineering; and develop organizational structure and staffing models that facilitate efficient and effective achievement of strategic objectives.
