Org Design Review

Why this works
Span-of-control analysis identifies over- and under-managed conditions that affect both cost efficiency and team performance — managers with 1-2 direct reports are typically over-invested in management overhead, while those with 10+ direct reports are typically under-investing in individual coaching and development. The decision-making speed assessment connects org structure to the organisational agility that SaaS companies require in competitive markets. The team topology review ensures the organisational design reflects the actual work dependencies rather than historical reporting relationships.
Risks & review
Org design reviews that result in structural changes must be managed as organisational change, not just a reporting line update — changes that affect managers' scope, teams' composition, or individuals' career trajectories require clear communication, transition support, and honest acknowledgment of the disruption involved. Plan the change management process with the same care as the org design analysis.
