    How we do this:

    Organizational design and structure follows your company’s vision, mission and strategy and it is important that your organizational structure is in line with your current strategy. Organizational design is about how the work gets done. We examine the link between the goals of your company and how managers and your staff are working to achieve those objectives. We work closely with your senior management team to establish the requisite organization for your company’s success and mitigate the risks of your company flaming out due to poor results and insufficient growth.

    In order for you to reach this perfect alignment we help you achieve the following:

    • The optimal number of layers for your organization structure
    • No compressions (jam ups) or gaps within your organization structure levels to enable employees to use their full capabilities, clear roles, clear accountabilities and authorities
    • Well understood cross-functional relationships
    • Fair performance management and compensation systems
    • assessment methods and a talent pool system that identifies the best people for hiring or promotion
    • Ensure that you have the right organization structure and people for each stage as your company grows.

     The process we follow:

    1. Conduct an analysis of your organization with a report outlining the issues and options to achieve the right organization to win in these tough times. Usually there will be cost savings and productivity gains as a result of the review.
    2. Finalize your new organization with senior team by developing a clear structure, role descriptions, accountabilities and authorities for the senior team.
    3. Introduce assessment methods to ensure that your people are well placed and to identify high potential people to drive growth.
    4. Use a cascading process to implement the new structure and new roles for your people.
    5. Establish new accountabilities and authorities and clarifying cross-functional relationships for your people.
    6. Carry out a review of your policies and systems.
    7. Implement leadership training modules for your managers covering: selection, setting context, assigning tasks, building teamwork among subordinates, team planning, continuous improvement, monitoring work and output of subordinates, coaching, performance review and de-selection.

      FAQs

      1. What is organizational design, and why does it matter for my business?

      Organizational design is about structuring your company so that people, processes, and responsibilities align with your business goals.
      At Mastermind Solutions, we help you create the right structure, the right people, the right accountabilities, and the right leadership practices — so your business can operate at peak performance.
      The result? Clearer roles, faster decisions, stronger teams, and measurable growth — often 20–40% improvement without major capital investment.

      2. What process does Mastermind follow when redesigning an organization?

      We use a proven seven-step process that ensures your structure supports strategy and is built to last:
      1. Analyze your current organization to uncover issues and opportunities.
      2. Collaborate with your leadership team to develop the new structure, roles, and accountabilities.
      3. Assess people and potential to ensure the right fit in key roles.
      4. Cascade the structure through all levels of the company.
      5. Define accountabilities and reporting lines clearly across departments.
      6. Align policies and systems (HR, compensation, workflows) with the new design.
      7. Develop leadership capabilities to sustain the new way of working.

      This structured approach ensures that your new organization works not just on paper — but in practice.

      3. How long does the process take, and what resources will we need?

      Every organization is unique. A smaller redesign can take a few months; larger or more complex transformations may take six months or more.
      You’ll need:
      • Leadership involvement in workshops and decision-making
      • A small internal team to collaborate with our consultants
      • Access to organizational data and people insights
      • Support for communication, training, and rollout
      With the right commitment, you’ll see faster execution, reduced duplication, and stronger accountability across your business.

      4. How will I know the redesign is working?

      Success is measured by both early signals and long-term results, such as:
      • Greater clarity of roles and decision-making
      • Improved employee engagement and collaboration
      • Faster project delivery and fewer bottlenecks
      • Productivity gains, cost savings, and revenue growth
      • Enhanced customer satisfaction and repeat business
      We help you define the right metrics from the start, so you can track measurable outcomes and adjust as needed.

      5. What challenges should we expect — and how do we overcome them?

      Change can be challenging, but with proper planning, it becomes an opportunity for growth. Common challenges include resistance to change, role confusion, or system misalignment.
      Our role is to guide you through each step — engaging your people, communicating clearly, aligning systems, and equipping leaders with the skills to sustain success.
      When done right, organizational design doesn’t just change how your business looks — it transforms how it performs.
