Understanding the territory, designing the map
Organizational design involves simultaneously working on the formal architecture of the organization and the actual dynamics of cooperation that run through it.
The map: the visible structure
Organizational charts
Governance
Roles and responsibilities
Decision systems
Formal processes.
The territory: the reality as experienced
Actor games
Power tensions
Informal cooperation
Implicit trade-offs
Cultural dynamics

La carte et le territoire



La carte et le territoire
When the map ignores the territory
Reorganizations fail when the formal structure does not take into account the actual dynamics.
Conflicts arise when the stated responsibilities do not correspond to the powers exercised.
Cooperation becomes fragile when interfaces are not designed.
Quand le design organisationnel devient nécessaire
Nous intervenons notamment lorsque :
• la stratégie évolue mais l’organisation ne suit plus
• les responsabilités sont devenues floues
• les tensions entre fonctions se multiplient
• la gouvernance devient difficile
• la coopération transverse se fragilise
