Enterprise Transformation – Transcending Traditional Organisation Design
Changing any part of an organisation, no matter how small, stands to have a profound impact on how people work and interact with each other- even if they are not directly affected by the change itself. Effective Enterprise Transformation can unleash a tremendous amount of latent ”people potential‟. At the same time, such initiatives are invariably stressful and emotionally taxing to those involved and affected.
In order to be successful, the ”traditional‟ Organisation Design and Change Management efforts need to work in concert, in the context of Strategic Clarity to guide the way. All organisations are unique, so each Enterprise Transformation initiative must be contextualised in the organisation’s history that has led up to this point.
Understanding the subtle nuances that personify an organisation is also critical, as it is these nuances which will influence the Enterprise Transformation process going forward. Rather than the rigid application of generic methods and templates, the Enterprise Transformation facilitator’s role is to act as a guide down a path less travelled- while taking cognisance of the journey to date.
Enterprise Transforming is all about facilitating a logical thought process, by asking the right questions and guiding key decisions around the organisation’s future.
