Services - Organizational Capability
Building
Established companies often face the challenge of
growing the existing business while concurrently pursuing new
opportunities outside the core. Highly optimized systems and
structures designed for efficiency, production and scale often
undermine new ventures and inhibit the enterprise’s innovation
potential.
An organization’s design directly impacts its
ability to drive innovation. The ubiquitous “silo” organizational
structure often results in poor collaboration across business units,
functions and geographies, limited communication, ambiguous roles
and responsibilities, internal competition for resources, and slow
decision-making.
Leadership’s role in driving innovation is all
about “design” – design of the organizational structures and culture
that lead to agile, flexible approaches that support lateral
collaboration and fast-cycle time innovation. The challenge involves
knowing what kind of designs will best support your business models
and strategies, and how to instill these as sustainable
capabilities.

- What is the best way to structure my
business for innovation and growth?
- How can we improve our coordination and
collaboration across "silos"? How can we leverage our matrix
model for innovation and growth?
- How can we ensure that our innovation
strategy and organizational structures are aligned - and
that both support our overall growth strategy?
- How can we best support our new
ventures so they can move quickly yet leverage the resources
of our larger organization?

innovation and growth?
