Organisational Structure
Introduction
The organisational structure is a system used to define the hierarchy within an organisation and usually represented in an organogram.
Why
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.
What you can expect
In eight steps this toolkit guides you in creating and mapping your organisation structure. Here you’ll find a step-by-step guide, tools, examples and other resources for designing or redesigning your organisational structure.
