Organizational Restructuring: Build an Organization That Can Execute Strategy #
When Paul’s $10M business outgrew its informal team structure, everyone was frustrated. There was overlap (three people doing similar things), gaps (things weren’t getting done), and unclear accountability.
We restructured the organization from a flat, undefined structure to a clear functional structure with clear roles and reporting lines. It sounds simple but had enormous impact: clarity on who decides what, clear career paths for talented people, better decision-making.
The restructuring was scary—would people like the new structure? Would good people leave? But done thoughtfully, with clear communication about why, it strengthened the organization.
