Organization Design Challenges

Part 2: Analyzing the current organization

The items in this part covered activities aimed at understanding and documenting the current organization, often referred to as the "As is" phase among consultants. Typically, this is done by reviewing company documents, interviewing representatives from different units, or conducting workshops. In some cases, one may also collect financial information and/or distribute surveys to managers, for example, in order to compare resource utilization in different units.
