Organizational design consulting that aligns your structure, decision rights, and operating model to where the business is actually headed.
Organizational design consulting is the work of shaping how a company is structured so it can execute its strategy: the operating model, reporting lines, spans and layers, role and responsibility design, and decision rights. It looks past the org chart to the underlying system that determines how fast decisions get made, where accountability sits, and where work duplicates or stalls. Done well, it gives leadership a structure that supports growth rather than fighting it.
A structured consulting process designed to uncover the real hiring problem, build the right roadmap, and stay through implementation.
We start by understanding what the business is trying to accomplish and whether the structural problem you have identified is the right place to begin. Most org problems have a root cause a layer deeper than where the pain shows up. For PE-backed companies, we anchor on the investment thesis and exit horizon first, because structure should serve the outcome you are working toward.
We assess the current structure: spans and layers, decision rights, role clarity, and how the operating model behaves under load. We look for where it creates drag, duplication, or slow decisions, and we trace those symptoms back to their source. The goal is a clear, evidence-based picture of what is actually holding execution back.
We deliver a prioritized roadmap tied to your growth targets and business timeline. Every recommendation is grounded in what it returns, whether that is faster decisions, lower cost, or clearer accountability. You get a sequence you can act on, not a theoretical target state with no path to reach it.
We build a team specific to the engagement. Standardizing structure across a newly combined entity calls for a different mix of expertise than redesigning a single function or rightsizing layers in one division. The people we bring match the problem in front of you.
We work alongside your team through the change, including role mapping, transition planning, and change management. Reorganizations fail in adoption, not on paper, so we stay through the messy middle. The objective is a structure people actually operate inside, not a new org chart that quietly reverts.

You are heading into a period of rapid growth and the current structure was built for a smaller, simpler company. Hiring into a broken model just adds cost and confusion at a faster rate. We redesign the operating model, spans and layers, and decision rights so the structure can absorb growth instead of buckling under it. That means defining roles by the outcomes they own and sizing teams for the stage you are entering. You scale on a foundation that holds.
You have closed a deal and now have two operating models, two sets of reporting lines, and overlapping roles that need to become one company. Left unresolved, this stalls integration and erodes the value the deal was supposed to create. We design the combined structure, resolve duplication, and define clear decision rights across the new entity. For PE-backed integrations, we keep the work tied to the investment thesis and the timeline you are working against. The result is one operating model your people understand and can run.
Decisions take too long, accountability is unclear, and managers oversee too many or too few people. These are symptoms of spans, layers, and decision rights that have drifted out of alignment as the company changed. We diagnose where the structure is creating drag and redesign it around how work actually flows. Then we help you implement the change so the fix sticks rather than fading back into the old patterns. You get an organization that can decide and move at the speed the business needs.
Organizational design consulting helps companies structure themselves to execute their strategy. It covers the operating model, reporting lines, spans and layers, role and responsibility design, and decision rights. The aim is a structure that makes decisions faster, accountability clearer, and growth easier to absorb
Organizational design is about structure: how roles, reporting lines, decision rights, and the operating model are arranged. Organizational development is about capability and culture: how people, behaviors, and ways of working evolve over time. The two are connected, since a new structure rarely takes hold without development work to support it, but design sets the framework that development then builds on.
Common triggers are rapid scaling, a merger or acquisition, a new strategy the current structure cannot support, or persistent symptoms like slow decisions, unclear accountability, and bloated layers. If the way you are organized is getting in the way of how you need to operate, it is time to look at design. For PE-backed companies, the post-deal period is often the highest-leverage moment to get structure right.
It typically moves from discovery and analysis of the current state, through a prioritized set of recommendations, into implementation. Along the way we assess spans and layers, decision rights, and role clarity, then redesign the structure around how work should flow. Implementation includes role mapping, transition planning, and change management so the new design holds.
It depends on scope. Redesigning a single function or rightsizing layers in one division can move quickly, while standardizing structure across a newly combined entity takes longer. We tie the timeline to your business calendar and growth targets rather than stretching the work, and we sequence it so you see meaningful change early rather than waiting for one large reveal at the end.
Outcomes are measured against what the redesign was meant to fix: decision speed, span and layer ratios, coordination cost, role clarity, and progress toward the growth or integration targets that prompted the work. We define those measures up front so success is concrete, not a matter of opinion. For PE-backed companies, we tie outcomes to the investment thesis and the value the structure is meant to unlock.
