Organization Design Challenges

The items in this section covered activities that are undertaken in order to implement the selected organizational model. A new organization chart is typically published on the firm's intranet. Implementing the new model depicted on the chart usually involves the establishment of new organizational units and assigning people to the roles in these units. However, as one has usually only discussed the overall model in the design phase, one first needs to operationalize the selected model (e.g., to define new roles, sub-units, and interfaces) before the model can be implemented. In addition, several other changes (e.g., related to governance, metrics, processes, behaviors) may need to be implemented in order to underpin the new organizational model and fulfill the design criteria.
