What is Organisational Design & Development?
Organisational design is a structured approach for optimising team roles, workflows, and communication on either a project or business environment. It ensures that teams function effectively by creating systems that align with strategic goals.
A well-designed organisation eliminates confusion, improves collaboration, and enhances operational efficiency.
Purpose in Lean Construction
In the construction sector, applying Lean principles to organisational design helps reduce waste, eliminate bottlenecks, and improve efficiency. By structuring teams and workflows strategically, organisations can enhance communication and create streamlined operations, leading to better project execution and reduced delays.
Importance for Project Success
A well-structured organisation ensures that roles and responsibilities are clearly defined, promoting accountability and efficiency. Effective organisational design fosters better collaboration, minimises miscommunication, and enhances productivity in complex projects.
Key Benefits of Organisational Design and Development
Enhanced Role Clarity and Accountability
Clearly defined roles reduce confusion and overlap, ensuring that responsibilities are understood at all levels. This clarity enhances accountability and leads to more effective project execution.
Improved Collaboration Across Teams
A structured organisational framework fosters seamless collaboration, minimising conflicts and ensuring that team members work efficiently towards common objectives.
Increased Efficiency in Project Execution
A robust organisational structure reduces delays, optimises resource allocation, and enhances productivity, leading to shorter project timelines and improved outcomes.
Diagnostics and Gap Analysis: Assessing Your Organisation’s Needs
Purpose of Diagnostics in Organisational Design
Diagnostics serve as a systematic review of an organisation’s existing structures to identify inefficiencies. This process highlights issues in communication, workflow, and role clarity.
Gap Analysis for Targeted Improvement
Gap analysis identifies discrepancies between current performance and desired outcomes. It reveals weaknesses in organisational frameworks and highlights opportunities for improvement.

Identifying Gaps and Root Causes
Diagnostics pinpoint inefficiencies in team structures, communication channels, and workflows, enabling targeted intervention.
Developing an Actionable Improvement Plan
Findings from the analysis inform the creation of a strategic improvement plan to optimise organisational performance.
Organisational Design Models and Frameworks for Effective Project Management
Overview of Organisational Design Models
Different organisational models suit various project and business types. These include functional, matrix, hub and spoke, hierarchical, and geographic structures.
Choosing the Right Framework
Rubicon Wigzell selects and adapts organisational models based on project complexity, team size, and specific needs.
Lean-Aligned Operating Models for Construction
By integrating Lean methodologies into organisational structures, Rubicon Wigzell enhances efficiency, reduces waste, and improves project flow. These can then be operationalised through a Target operating Model, which takes the structure and directs it towards specific value streams.
Types of Organisational Design Models
Functional and Matrix Models
Functional models work well for specialist teams, while matrix models enhance collaboration between departments and disciplines.
Hub and Spoke
The “hub” coordinates and manages smaller, interconnected “spokes” which typically offer more limited services, effectively creating a network structure for service and / or product delivery
Hierarchical and Geographic Models
Hierarchical structures offer clear reporting lines, while geographic models support multi-location coordination.
Custom Frameworks for Unique Needs
Rubicon Wigzell develops bespoke organisational frameworks tailored to specific project goals and challenges, we have developed for multiple programmes across most industry sectors inc; rail, building, road, water and the energy sector.
