Reorganize: Reorganize and Merge Organizations

Detailed Visibility Delivers Successful Reorganizations

Reorganizations large and small are critical to organizational health, serving to align the organization with objectives and drive efficiency and innovation. However, driven by both complex business goals and aggressive timelines, reorganizations or merging organizations requires a delicate balance between acting quickly and acting wisely. OrgPlus provides the platform for both, enabling reorganization teams to shrink cycle time while improving the quality of decision making. OrgPlus provides visibility into current information, intuitive modeling tools, and a means to easily communicate the resulting organization. With OrgPlus:

• Accelerate the speed of reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions with the ability to quickly access data, model scenarios and test options
• Improve the quality of reorganizations with collaborative decision making and clear visibility into the financial impact of each scenario
• Manage retention risks by quickly and clearly communicating with employees and stakeholders

Rapid Reorganizations

OrgPlus is built to accelerate reorganizations. From initial data access, to scenario building, to communicating results, OrgPlus supports all reorganization tasks within a secure, online environment accessible to everyone on the team. This eliminates redundant administrative work, reporting delays, and disconnected discussions that tend to impede progress.

Rather than taking time to compile and validate current org charts, organizations with OrgPlus have instant access to the baseline organization as soon as a reorganization is initiated. From this baseline, intuitive, interactive modeling enables teams to quickly create and share options for the resulting organization. The complex tasks of managing communications among multiple people building, reviewing and approving scenarios are managed through workflow to ensure that plans progress rapidly and nothing slips through the cracks. When the final organization is agreed upon, the org chart is already built in OrgPlus, and can be instantly communicated to employees and stakeholders.

By centralizing information access and streamlining communications, OrgPlus shaves valuable days or weeks off of reorganizations, saving direct costs and enabling an organization to more quickly return to productivity.

Make Sound, Fact-Based Decisions

In the high pressure environment surrounding reorganizations, it's not unusual for decisions to be made by a small team with limited knowledge of the individuals in question. Time and personnel constraints dictate fast decisions that often, in hindsight, cause bigger problems such as inadvertent loss of key skills, high performers or regulation-driven reporting structures.

Complete with workforce metrics, analytics, and relevant information from other source systems, such as compensation, skills, diversity or tenure, OrgPlus provides the facts managers need to make informed decisions. Visual identifiers, such as icons, formats, or highlights bring attention to critical information that otherwise may go unnoticed. For example, chart boxes could be colored red, yellow and green by performance ratings, providing planners with an instant gauge of low, medium and high performers. Icons may indicate key skills that need to be retained for the go-forward organization.

Additionally, as planners move people or positions around in new scenarios, metrics adjust accordingly to reflect the changes. The team gains the insight to know, in advance, how the proposed changes will impact financials and whether the final plan will meet overall objectives.

Clearly Communicate Results

Once decisions have been made, quickly and clearly communicating results is critical to re-motivating the go-forward organization. An org chart is the perfect way to communicate a new organization. Employees and stakeholders can instantly see where they fit and how their organization contributes to the overall objectives. When managing a reorg in OrgPlus, the org chart is built as decisions are made. It is ready to use to announce the results as soon as the organization is finalized, so employees can quickly put the reorg behind them and move forward.
