Re-organise your Organisation for success!
If you are feeling overwhelmed in terms of the number of different tasks you are trying to do and / or have employees who could be supporting you more, we recommend doing an Organisational Review of your business. Doing this will allow you to define who should be doing what to improve efficiency and give you more time to concentrate on your main activities.
Ask yourself the following questions:
• Are your employees unclear about their roles and responsibilities?
• Are you ‘wearing too many hats’ i.e. covering too many functions?
• Does your business stop when you’re not around?
If you answered yes to any of the above, then an Organisational Review will provide the structure to efficiently allocate staff resources to allow you to focus on what you do best – running your business.
During an organisational review, you will construct your own organisation chart, providing clarity of the key functions within your business and who has responsibility for them. The updated organisation chart will allow your business to be more sustainable, scalable and ultimately, saleable.
There are numerous benefits of an Organisational Review including:
• Increased ability to make effective decisions at a strategic level
• Understanding the key functions within your business and who should be responsible for them
• Gaining a clear definition of the internal structure of your business
• Determining the ideal roles for the business as opposed to fitting roles to the people in your Team
• A structure to support the future plans for your business
• Increased staff satisfaction as they know what is expected of them within their roles.
Organisational Reviews work best when facilitated by an experienced business coach such as Giles at GECA Chartered Accountants. Typically an organisational review will involve a day long planning meeting with your facilitator to construct a draft organisation structure for your business. Following this, this structure is reviewed and refined and once finalised, communicated to the team.
