Far more important than the organizational chart are how people work together, how decisions are made, what gets measured, and how core work processes support effective execution. Time after time we have demonstrated that the key to greater organizational effectiveness is the alignment of strategy, organization and talent in ways that measurably improve performance. Creating that alignment may require a new organization design, recalibrated governance or improvements in specific business processes. But in every case, changes to aspects of organization design only deliver results when they are aligned with the business strategy and the right people are in place to execute the strategy.
