Time for Structure that Works for You
Design the right structures
Here at Time for Impact we know the importance of effective organisation design.
Give a good manager a poorly designed structure and s/he will struggle to succeed. Yet, even an relatively poor manager will be more effective in an effective structure.
The type of structure required for impact in your team or organisation will vary based on missions, tasks, technology, importance of standardisation and conformity or conversely creativity, staff capability, the requirement of staff involvement in delivery, the speed of action required and many more factors.
Time for Impact can assist organisations in shaping the right solutions for you. Please contact us to discuss.
Agile Structures
In the fast-paced modern world, it is often wise to design structures to be much more fluid and less hierarchical.
Particularly where work is focussed on product or service development, you will want to be able to quickly deploy staff to areas of focus, deliver the project and then deploy them on new priorities. This fits less well with rigid team structures. Often it is best to recruit staff with broad rather than specific skillsets who can be used much more flexibly to suit the changes in organisation prioritisation and demand.
Agile staff structures are important because they enable teams to be more responsive, flexible, and productive. In an agile environment, teams are typically small and cross-functional, with members from different disciplines working together on a single project. This allows teams to make decisions quickly and adapt to change easily.
Agile staff structures also promote a high level of collaboration and communication. Team members are encouraged to share their ideas and feedback openly, and they are all invested in the success of the project. This leads to better decision-making and higher quality outcomes.
Faster time to delivery: Agile teams can deliver products and services to customers more quickly because they are able to work in short, iterative cycles.
Improved quality: Agile teams focus on delivering high-quality products and services by regularly testing their work and getting feedback from customers.
Increased customer satisfaction: Agile teams are more responsive to customer needs and feedback, which leads to higher customer satisfaction.
Improved employee morale: Agile teams provide employees with more autonomy and opportunities to collaborate, which can lead to improved morale and productivity.
