Your Challenge
- Organizational design implementations can be highly disruptive for IT staff and business partners. Without a structured approach, IT leaders may experience high turnover, decreased productivity, and resistance to the change.
- CIOs walk a tightrope as they manage the operational and emotional turbulence while aiming to improve business satisfaction within IT. Failure to achieve balance could result in irreparable failure.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Mismanagement will hurt you. The majority of IT organizations do not manage organizational design implementations effectively, resulting in decreased satisfaction, productivity loss, and increased IT costs.
- Preventing mismanagement is within your control. 72% of change management issues can be directly improved by managers. IT leaders have a tendency to focus their efforts on operational changes rather than on people.
