The necessary Organisation structure needs to be put in place.
A key factor will be the extent that new technology will be implemented. Having said that there are a full range of alternatives. As new technology is implemented it has a profound impact on the way things are done, and hence on the organisation necessary to deliver the added value.
Technology is not the only driver for organisational development. The fundamental issue is the need to Manage the Assets of the Company.
Here we mean Assets in the widest sense and not simply the Plant and Equipment.
To do this you will need to consider.
- Environment, Market, Public Affairs, Legislation Risk are the areas where a Leadership Team have little direct control and can only monitor events, lobby and act appropriately.
- Business Management Process must be recognised as the cornerstone of the Company's sustainable operation and basis for comtinuous improvement.
- Value Chain analysis enables the correct focus to be drawn when analysing the business.
- High Level Asset Definition allows the correct focus on the Company's tangible and intangible assets.
- Organisation & High Level Accountability allows the correct focus on the Company's tangible and intangible assets.
- Organisation & High Level Responsibility allows the correct focus on the Company's tangible and intangible assets in a lower level 'action orientated' manner.
- Planning Horizon & Business Processes must be reflected in the organisation since short term activities are not compatible with longer term activities,
- IT Applications & Organisation Development are a consequence of effective Business Process Reviews.
- Records, Documentation and Information Management improvements are a consequence of effective Business Process reviews.
