Organizational Simplification
A lever for performance and resilience
Redesigning industrial organization: a simplification method
A necessary organizational simplification to enhance performance and resilience
As organizations become increasingly complex with multiple structures, processes, committees, and authorities, it has become crucial to simplify organizations to facilitate decision-making, increase agility, optimise productivity and strengthen our ability to respond quickly to crises. Simplifying allows for a better flow of information and increases accountability at all levels, helping everyone to focus on activities with a high added value.
Redesigning the organization to simplify on every level
In addition to reviewing organizational charts, our approach addresses all the components required to successfully implement a new organisation: clearly defining the responsibilities of each function, optimising processes and harmonising practices, reviewing governance and decision-making processes (RACI), etc. Avencore provides accurate diagnoses, collaborates on creating personalized roadmaps aligned with companies’ overall strategies, and implements communication and change management plans to support employees.
Redefining roles and making employees more accountable for greater efficiency
Organizational simplification means redefining and clarifying everyone’s roles and responsibilities around a common, shared objective. This involves:
- Refocusing employees on value-added tasks, by limiting administrative and repetitive tasks
- Promoting collaboration and collective intelligence, by encouraging teamwork and cross-functionality
- Developing autonomy and accountability, by giving employees more freedom to make decisions
- Facilitating faster decision-making by giving responsibility back to frontline managers
- Fostering a culture of innovation and experimentation, by granting employees the “right to take risks”
