Structures and Systems
The architecture of an organization’s structures
and systems should align its human, physical, and financial
resources to address the ever-changing demands of the business
environment. Structures and systems also orchestrate and align
a company’s
internal operations, which determine how effectively it performs
and the business results it gets. The Institute uses this configuration
of structures and systems to infer important characteristics
about an organization’s culture. For example, careful
analysis of an organization chart can reveal what an organization
believes about having the right people work together on the
right tasks to get the results they want. Or analysis of an
organization’s business functions and business processes
can reveal basic cultural beliefs about what it takes to be
successful in an industry. Structures and systems are composed
of three components.
- Purpose, Strategy, and Alignment
- Organizing and Implementing
- Business and Work Processes
