Organizational Design
Overview
Improve efficiency, agility and decision-making with organizational optimization
Hierarchical structures in mining companies can lead to slow decision-making processes and reduced agility. To improve efficiency, many companies are adopting alternative organizational structures – flatter, cross-functional or decentralized, where communication channels are streamlined.
Meanwhile, the advent of advanced data analytics and technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), has broadened the possibilities of incorporating data-driven decision-making into organizational design. For example, companies are now setting up designated data analysis units, employing data scientists, and integrating data insights into operational strategies.
While the opportunities for organizational design to improve workflows and processes are abundant, restructuring an organization often meets resistance from employees due to job insecurity and disruption to habits and established routines. Hence, effective communication, process rollouts and continuous feedback from employees is crucial to ensuring successful implementation.
Key Client Challenges:
- How can we create a flexible organizational structure that can adapt to market fluctuations?
- What measures can we take to overcome resistance to change among employees during the restructuring process?
- What are the best ways to capture and utilize employee feedback to improve organizational design?
- How can we align our organizational design with our long-term business strategy and vision?
- How do we ensure effective communication and coordination between different departments and teams?
- What key performance indicators (KPIs) should we use to measure the success of our organizational design changes?
With the various complex tasks in mining operations, the industry is shifting to enhanced collaboration and the breaking down of silos between different departments, leading to better coordination and resource allocation – of particular importance given the geographic spread and remoteness of mining locations.
