Organisational Design

Clarify your organisational structure for what comes next. Growth, transformation or a new strategic direction may require changes to leadership structures, roles and responsibilities. We help you identify the decision-making authority, competencies and leadership capabilities needed to execute your strategy. Our work provides a solid foundation for decisions on role allocation, management team composition and future development or recruitment needs.

Organisational Design with Head Agent

We help you assess how your organisation should be structured to meet the needs of your business. Through close dialogue with the CEO and other key stakeholders, we explore how the organisation operates in practice, where responsibilities overlap, which issues fall between roles and what may hinder decision-making and execution.

Drawing on our experience in assessing and recruiting leaders, we bring an external perspective on how organisational structure, competencies and leadership need to work together. We identify competency gaps and evaluate different solutions in relation to your strategy and business needs. Sometimes a new role is required; in other cases, clearer decision-making authority or a different allocation of responsibilities may be the better solution.

Our analysis is translated into practical recommendations to support informed decisions and next steps. We clarify what the proposed changes mean for the roles involved and how competency needs can be addressed. This provides a clear, well-grounded direction for moving forward, whether through developing existing leaders, reshaping the organisation or recruiting new talent.

FAQ

About Organisational Design

1. What Does Organisational Design with Head Agent Involve?

We help you review how roles, responsibilities, competencies and ways of working need to align to support your business. This includes where roles sit within the organisation, how decision-making authority and reporting lines are structured, and how processes and organisational structures affect collaboration. The starting point is always what your business needs to achieve.

2. When Should You Review Your Organisational Structure?

Growth, transformation or a new strategic direction may require changes to your organisational structure. The need may also become apparent through unclear responsibilities, slow decision-making or limited collaboration between functions. We help you identify what needs to change and what should be retained.

3. How Do You Determine Where a Role Should Sit Within the Organisation?

We assess the role's responsibilities, decision-making authority and key stakeholders. Together, we evaluate reporting lines and organisational placement to determine where the role can contribute most effectively. This may involve balancing central and local responsibilities or defining how a role should interact with the management team.

4. How Do You Identify Competency Gaps?

We compare your organisation's future needs with its existing competencies and leadership capabilities. This helps identify which capabilities need to be developed, used differently or brought into the organisation. Our knowledge of the candidate market also helps you assess which profiles are relevant and realistic to attract.

5. Do You Also Review Organisational Structures and Processes?

Yes. We examine how responsibilities, decision-making and collaboration work in practice, including the processes that affect each role's ability to deliver results. We focus on identifying overlapping responsibilities, unclear handovers and other barriers to effective execution. Our recommendations may include both organisational changes and clearer ways of working.

6. How Do You Adapt Your Advisory Services to Different Types of Companies?

We tailor our approach to your company's size, stage of development, ownership structure and business needs. A scale-up may need to clarify leadership roles and establish structures for continued growth, while a larger, established organisation may need to review responsibilities across functions or organisational levels. With over 15 years of experience across industries, from startups to large corporations, we bring perspectives that are always evaluated against your specific circumstances.

7. Does Organisational Design Always Lead to Restructuring or Recruitment?

No. Sometimes the best solution is to clarify decision-making authority, improve ways of working or develop existing employees. We help you assess which actions are justified and prioritise the next steps. If additional competencies are needed, we can also help define the role ahead of recruitment or an interim appointment.

- Therese Ahlström Brodowsky, Chief Commercial Officer på KP Energy
Det senaste året har jag både blivit rekryterat till ett nytt jobb och själv rekryterat två nya medarbetare genom Head Agent. Processen med Head Agent har varit smidig från start till slut. Vi fick en tydlig tidsplan som höll hela vägen. Min kontakt var väldigt lyhörd och mån om att förstå vilka krav och önskemål vi hade kring rollen. Inte bara gällande kvalifikation och erfarenhet utan även kring personligheten. Head Agent har ett stort nätverk inom DVH och har tagit fram starka kandidater. Jag är väldigt nöjd och kan bara rekommendera Head Agent. ”
