Operating Model & Org Design.
We bring strategies to life by designing and implementing fit-for-purpose organizations.
Is your organization design optimized to deliver your business strategy?
Today’s business strategies change faster than most organizations are designed to keep up with. That misalignment can show up in numerous ways; slowed decision-making, cross-functional friction, lost time, or underutilized talent.
Here are a few questions we often explore with leaders:
- If your strategy changed tomorrow, how easily could your organization shift with it?
- Where in your business do you see friction that your org model may be unintentionally contributing to?
- Are you organized for where you’ve been, or for where you’re going next?
- Can your teams consistently describe how work gets done and decisions really get made?
If the answers make you pause, you’re not alone. The most successful leaders revisit their operating model before it starts to fail them, not after.
Six Common Scenarios That Call for Revisiting Your Operating Model & Org Design.
Our work is designed to meet leaders where they are. We help organizations evolve their model in response to critical inflection points, including:
-
Standing Up New Organizations & Capabilities
Building something new means aligning early on foundational decisions that shape your future. We help teams establish themselves in ways that adapt as needs evolve.
-
Enhancing Team & Cross-functional Collaboration
When team dynamics or matrixed collaboration break down, productivity and engagement suffer. We orchestrate improvements in how teams work together, not just what they’re accountable for.
-
Redesigning to Support Strategic Transformation
A new strategy often demands more than tweaks, it calls for rethinking how the system works. We guide leaders through end-to-end design decisions that match bold ambitions.
-
Integrating & Harmonizing Mergers & Acquisitions
The value of a deal can be lost in the chaos of integration. We focus on the org design and cultural elements that ensure the sum becomes greater than the parts.
-
Optimizing Costs & Operational Efficiency
Cost-cutting efforts don’t need to damage morale or derail strategy. We help clients pursue efficiency in a way that also strengthens long-term performance and adaptability.
-
Assessing Organizational Dynamics
Sometimes what’s needed first is clarity. We uncover what’s working, what’s not, and where the biggest opportunities for alignment and improvement lie.
The Value of Getting It Right.
Investments in your operating model can:
- Clarify decision-making and reduce internal churn
- Align talent and resources with strategic priorities
- Increase cross-functional speed and accountability
- Improve employee engagement by reducing ambiguity
- Enable scaling and adaptability in times of change
But it’s not just what you decide, it’s how you make those decisions that sets the tone for success.
Our Approach: The Vynamic Flywheel.
Like a flywheel, an organization gains momentum when all parts of its operating model are aligned and working in harmony. But when even one element is off, it creates drag, slowing progress and putting the whole system at risk of imbalance.
Vynamic’s Operating Model & Org Design Flywheel is our proven methodology for creating alignment across six interdependent design elements:
- Strategy & Business Needs: Define the strategic vision and align leadership on goals to guide organizational design and solutions
- Structure: Establish reporting structures, roles, and responsibilities to clarify decision-making and accountability
- Process & Ways of Working: Enable seamless collaboration by defining interaction models and optimizing information and process flows
- Rewards & Performance Measures: Align individual incentives with organizational goals to drive performance and engagement
- Talent: Ensure the right people are in the right roles and address gaps to enable organizational success
- Leadership & Culture: Shape team norms and behaviors to foster collaboration and achieve results
Rather than treating these as checklists, we use the Vynamic Flywheel to help clients make deliberate, interconnected decisions that stick.
