Organizational Design

Structuring an organization to best achieve its strategy and goals.

Full Definition

Organizational design is the process of aligning an organization's structure, processes, roles, and culture with its business strategy. It involves decisions about how to divide work, group teams (by function, product, geography, or matrix), define reporting lines, and balance centralization vs decentralization. Organizational redesigns are typically triggered by growth, mergers, digital transformation, or strategic pivots. HR Business Partners play a central role in facilitating organizational design processes and managing resulting change.
