-
Supports Distributed Org Design
Our clients get the best results using a distributed approach to organization design, where embedded managers who are closest to the work are responsible for defining roles and aligning people with positions. OrgBuilder gives managers an intuitive, secure, and scalable platform on which to perform distributed organization design. -
Makes Data Actionable
OrgBuilder has the capacity to synchronize massive data flows and keep corporate reorganization projects on track. The highly configurable interface for the software tool puts key metrics front and center for each user—while making it easy for leadership to monitor overall progress and steer projects back on course as needed. -
Can Be Customized for Any Project
Whether they’re redesigning for growth, changing their operating model, or integrating two companies, clients can customize OrgBuilder to define which metrics to measure, who has access to which positions and which talent, how to measure progress toward corporate redesign goals, and more. -
Prioritizes Data Security
The business consulting software tool prioritizes the secure retention and transmission of sensitive, personally identifiable data. OrgBuilder’s permissions model ensures that individual users have access only to the position or person records and fields they need in order to execute their own role in the redesign process. -
Improves Talent-Selection Processes
OrgBuilder helps clients implement objective and transparent talent-selection processes that accelerate value creation while ensuring that employees are fairly treated. By giving leaders an intuitive interface for designing and staffing teams, OrgBuilder increases the visibility, transparency, and value delivery of the entire talent-selection process.
