Our solutions for you
01 Thinking Design – Anticipating Organizational Needs
We begin by asking why change is necessary and where your organization should be heading. Together, we define its purpose, ambition, and strategic direction. By addressing key guiding questions, we establish a shared understanding of the organizational landscape, the value it aims to create, and the capabilities and systems it needs to achieve this. This provides the foundation of direction and clarity for all subsequent design decisions.
"Together with your managers, we define the purpose and strategic direction for organizational development and future design."
Carina Throne, Senior Manager at CPC
02 Analyzing Design - Systematically Analyzing an Organization
Building on our purpose and strategy, we conduct a holistic analysis of the organization along its value stream. Working together with subject matter experts and leaders, we identify how value is actually created, where tensions arise, and what patterns shape collaboration. This analysis provides clarity on root causes rather than symptoms and brings together different perspectives to form a shared understanding of the current situation.
Goal
"We make the value flow transparent and ensure quality, digitization, and automation along the entire value stream."
Steffen Schweizer, Senior Manager at CPC
03 Doing Design -Designing an Effective Organization
Based on our analysis and vision, we work together to develop the future organizational design. In doing so, we design structures, roles, responsibilities, and governance in a way that effectively supports the value stream and facilitates collaboration. The design is developed iteratively and in collaboration with the relevant organizational units—ensuring that the target organization is sustainable and supported by everyone.
Goal
A clearly defined organizational design that aligns with the strategy, supports value creation, and is embraced by both leadership and the organization.
“Organizational design is successful when it makes a difference in everyday life—in decision-making, collaboration, and behavior.”
Milena Pein, Manager at CPC
