The company where I used to work earlier, used to get reorganized on regular basis; then it didn’t hit me much because reorganizations doesn’t really change how a junior management guy works.
But, I am experiencing yet another reorganization now and I was thinking about the difficulty of this whole process. Every reorganization seems to be aimed at ‘better alignment with customer needs’ and ‘to become more nimble and responsive to customer needs’.
However, imagine a major structural change at the top will have eventual impact at the operational level. New guy, different strategy, middle management have to align themselves to this need and it all takes little bit of time.
And top leadership do matter, I have been advocating this aspect since for a while now. Change in CEO/top management can change fortunes for company (Look at Geometric, it seems to have completely transformed with new leadership)
Question really is how much customers will be impacted by all this? Any changes done without impacting the operation and for better focus towards customers will be appreciated largely. However, what if customers have to adjust to new way of working regularly?
Answer is not simple.
But, reorganization done at correct way, brings lot of energy, brings competition & focus. This also allows executives to re-align, refocus and re-prioritize themselves.
