Organisational Structure

Introdução

The organisational structure is a system used to define the hierarchy within an organisation and usually represented in an organogram.

Justificativa

This toolkit is useful when your organisation:

• is in an initial stage and does not have a defined organisational chart.
• has an organisational structure but wants to review and improve it, for example to have reporting and communication lines more clear and various roles and responsibilities coordinated.
• has a plan to grow or restructure programs and needs to plan organisational structure accordingly, so that it creates a future scenario for organisational growth and expansion and potential succession planning.
