Seven-step strategy-to-structure methodology: operating model, structure options, spans and layers, role architecture.
From strategy intent to role architecture, in one connected model.

What it does
Structure, on purpose
Strategy-led
Strategy is the first input
Structure options are generated from the operating model you choose, so the chart follows the strategy instead of the strategy being written around a chart that already exists.
Measurement
Spans and layers, measured
Every option reports its own average span, layer count and role total. You compare designs on evidence rather than on whose version it is.
Depth
It does not stop at boxes
Role architecture, accountabilities and the transition sequence come with the design — which is where most restructures quietly fail.
A structure without accountabilities is a picture.The picture is the easy part.

Who it is for
Built for the people who get asked
Group CEOs
Restructuring diversified portfolios where every subsidiary arrives with its own case for staying exactly as it is.
COOs
Who own the operating model and have to make the new one work on the Monday after it is announced.
Transformation leads
Who need the design and the sequence that delivers it to be the same artefact, not two documents that disagree.
