Three basic problems of organizational design

To achieve organizational goals, in addition to professional division of labor and detailed functions, cooperation and teamwork are inevitable. More and more enterprises or organizations use project organization to organize their business, which is to give play to the role of teams to some extent.

Under normal circumstances, professional division of labor, functional refinement, teamwork and horizontal communication do not conflict. The reason why it is a misunderstanding is to see what position this kind of work is based on, from the perspective of defining responsibilities, from the perspective of achieving goals, from the perspective of individuals or from the perspective of teams.

The fourth is the error of resources: the basic unit of an organization is people, and people are the most important resources. For organizational design, staffing is the key to landing, and how to make full use of talents is the foundation of management, which is also a problem to be considered in organizational design.

Is it decided by the post or by people? Almost everyone will say, it's very simple, just take people by post! It's easier said than done. As we all know, it's difficult to select people who meet the requirements according to the job requirements. For example, many enterprises lack marketing directors. Enterprises hope that the marketing director they want to recruit can understand the market, manage, lead the team, ease contradictions and be relatively safe. The question is, can you find so many versatile people?

As an employee or manager, it is not an industrial product born in a mold. Every employee has the advantages and characteristics of every employee, and every manager has the expertise and style of every manager. We can't place our hopes on perfect employees or all-round managers.

When human resources are scarce, work is dead, but people are alive. There are many possible combinations of whether people are determined by posts or by people. On the one hand, many enterprises shout loudly that there are no talents, but on the other hand, many talents are idle, which is the biggest waste of human resources and one of the key factors that enterprises can't operate well and make reasonable profits. The following will mention the problem of matching people and posts.

Fifth, the error of execution: the execution of organizational design is definitely not as simple as doing things according to the rules, and it is definitely not the task that is completed after the organizational design is completed. There are two main reasons why organizational design often falls into design rather than execution. On the one hand, the enforceability of design is not considered in organizational design.
