We recently worked on a proposal for an organizational design project, and I came across a number of interesting frameworks related to organizational design. Below is the first of those frameworks; I will follow-up with other examples in coming blog posts.
The Star framework, by Jay Galbraith, is a widely used design framework that lists five categories or factors that influence design decisions: Strategy, structure, processes, rewards and people. These factors affect how companies lay out an optimal organizational structure. There is a certain logical sequence between the five elements: Strategy drives structure, which in turn influences processes. All three of those then drive the implementation of rewards systems and people policies.
The five factors are helpful categories if you are, for example, drafting a questionnaire for the initial diagnostic of an organizational design project. They will help you make sure you understand the entire context in which design decisions will have to be made.
Jay Galbraith is a well known expert in organizational design, author of several books and former professor at MIT Sloan, Wharton and IMD. He has his own consulting practice and web site (link), which also provides interesting additional background information on the Star framework (link).
