Organizational redesign at a growing company
Service — Organizational Development

Evolving your structures and ways of working to gain agility

We support the redesign of your structures, processes and operating models to build a more agile, higher-performing organization.

Overview

Evolving the organization without destabilizing it

APEX INTERNATIONAL's organizational development practice supports companies and administrations whose current structures no longer match their growth, complexity or performance challenges. We work on the org chart, the distribution of responsibilities, coordination channels and collaboration between teams.

This service typically builds on the findings of a prior organizational audit to design and deploy a new organization genuinely suited to your strategy and your structure's current size, favoring a managed transition over abrupt disruption.

Signals that an organization needs to evolve
Challenges we see

Signals that an organization needs to evolve

  • An org chart that no longer reflects how the company actually operates.
  • Responsibilities shared across several departments, causing conflicts or bottlenecks.
  • A structure that has become too heavy, or conversely insufficiently structured for its current size.
  • Difficulty getting interdependent teams to collaborate effectively.
Our approach

Realistic, collaborative organizational design

We design every new organization together with the leadership teams concerned, to ensure its relevance and adoption.

Organizational diagnosis

Analysis of the strengths and limits of the current structure, often based on a prior audit.

Scenario design

Development of several organizational options, with their respective advantages and risks.

Transition support

Support in progressively implementing the chosen new organization.

Our methodology

Post-transition follow-up

Our value add

A reorganization that preserves business continuity

Our experience has taught us that a poorly supported reorganization can create more dysfunction than it solves. Our value add lies in our ability to design progressive transitions that preserve operational continuity.

We pay particular attention to the human dimension of these projects, anticipating resistance and involving the teams concerned as early as possible in the process.

Organizational development case study led by APEX INTERNATIONAL
Case study

Redesigning the operational departments of a growing group

Context: An industrial group that had doubled in size within three years still operated with an organization designed for a much smaller structure, generating tension between departments.

Engagement: APEX INTERNATIONAL diagnosed the friction points, designed three organizational scenarios with the executive committee, then supported the transition to the chosen organization over a two-month period.

Outcome: The new organization clarified responsibilities between departments and significantly reduced the arbitration conflicts that had systematically been escalated to senior management.
