📅 Last reviewed: February 2026
AI-powered organizational structure analysis, optimization recommendations, and restructuring guidance — combining people, process, technology, and governance dimensions.
Design structures that enable strategy
Structure Analysis
Analyze current organizational structure for spans of control, reporting depth, bottlenecks, and alignment to strategy. Identify structural issues that impede performance.
Optimization Recommendations
AI-generated recommendations for structural improvements — span adjustments, function consolidation, shared services design, and center-of-excellence models.
Operating Model Design
Design operating models combining people, process, technology, and governance dimensions. Align organizational design to strategic intent and operational requirements.
Structure that enables strategy
Span of Control Analysis
Analyze and optimize spans of control across the organization. Identify managers with too few direct reports (management overhead) or too many (supervision gaps). Benchmark against industry norms by function type.
Reporting Depth Analysis
Measure the number of management layers from CEO to frontline. Identify where excessive depth creates communication bottlenecks and where flattening could improve agility and speed.
Shared Services & COE Design
Model centralized vs decentralized models, shared service centers, and centers of excellence. Evaluate efficiency, service quality, and organizational responsiveness trade-offs.
