Organization Design

Establish effective structures, governance, and roles guided by a set of design principles aligned with the strategic priorities of the business.

Codify performance management goals with rigor and instill efficient decision making; ensure systems and technology enable—rather than constrain—success.

Support informal networks and foster a culture of continuous improvement; ensure the right talent and skills thrive within a workforce prepared for the future.
