Savvy helps our clients connect their people with their strategy, engage them in a shared vision, and make values feel valuable again. We work alongside our clients to design 'fit for purpose' organisational structures wherein individuals understand expectations and accountability, the people systems and processes drive the right behaviours and capable and credible leadership drives a customer-focused culture.

We assist organisations to review the effectiveness of functions, assess programs and facilitate restructures to deliver strategy and maximise performance. Throughout the partnership with our clients, we build the skills and behaviours that lead to sustainable results.

Many executives feel that their organisation is not aligned with the strategy, and that parts of the organisation resist it or don’t understand it. If that’s a familiar problem in your business, then Savvy can help you develop an organisation design that supports your strategy more effectively.

Many CEOs anticipate significant disruptions to their businesses as a result of global trends such as heightened competition, changes in customer behavior creating disruption or changes in distribution channels. As CEOs look to stay ahead of these trends, they recognize the need to change their organisation’s design. But for that redesign to succeed, a company must make its changes as effectively and painlessly as possible, in a way that aligns with its strategy, invigorates employees, builds distinctive capabilities, and makes it easier to attract customers.

Today, the average tenure for the CEO is about five years. Therefore, a major re-organisation is likely to happen only once during that leader’s term. The chief executive has to get the reorg right the first time; he or she won’t get a second chance. Remaking your organiation to align with your strategy is a project that only the top executive of a company, division, or enterprise can lead. Although it’s not practical for the CEO to manage the day-to-day details, the top leader of a company must be consistently present to work through the major issues and alternatives, focus the design team on the future, and be accountable for the transition to the new organisation. The CEO will also set the tone for the target operating model.

Organisational Design & Change Management

Organisational change is an emotional process — one that often creates a source of insecurity and tension. Savvy works with clients to enable them to develop their capabilities to more effectively manage change and realise benefits. This might involve supporting the client as they develop a clear and concise vision of the future for parts or all of their organisation, or coaching the Leadership Team to convey the right messages during times of change.

From incremental functional change through to a full transformation, our change management consulting enables companies to build robust engagement plans and clear communications to engage people. Our approach draws from practical experience in what actions make change stick. We help companies identify and deliver "quick wins" and sustainable success by building alignment, role clarity and avoiding ambiguity around decision rights. Throughout the organisational change activity, we share our expertise to uplift the capability of business leaders to effectively lead, manage and develop talent.

Organizational design and Restructuring.

The starting point for a successful reorganization is the decisions that create value, not the boxes and lines of the organisation chart. Savvy's approach helps companies structure their operations around the key sources of value in the business, remove unnecessary complexity and set up an effective operating model that allows the company to realize its strategic objectives.

Savvy has helped clients to redesign their organisation and functionally realign to deliver on their strategic intent. Following a shift in their operating model we have worked alongside our clients to design 'fit for purpose' structures wherein individuals understand expectations and accountability, the people systems and processes drive the right behaviours and capable and credible leadership creates a customer-focused culture. Throughout the partnership with our clients, we build the skills and behaviours that lead to sustainable results. We have assisted organisations to review the effectiveness of functions, assess programs and facilitate restructures to deliver strategy and maximise performance
