organization effectiveness

The effectiveness of an organization can be measured by the implementation of strategies to achieve continuous performance improvement. In terms of efficiency, organizations can gain a lot by changing their organization culture, targets and work floor processes. Higher & Company offers advice and supports this process, thereby aiming for a corporate culture that guarantees the best results possible.
Through years of working with various companies, Higher has collected a vast amount of data on organizations of different sizes. Therefore, we will be able to answer the following important questions:

• How many management positions does it take to run an organization?

• How should the number of staff positions relate to the number of line functions?

• What is a good ‘span of control’ for a manager?

• How many management positions should there be in supporting functions, like HR, finance, IT, etc.?

• What competences are critical for commanding staff and managers?

• Which corporate culture is best suitable for your goals as an organization?

When all relevant questions are answered it is time to draw up a clear plan of action. In this mutual process, Higher & Company will always approach all issues from a broad angle, engaging all stakeholders, systems and processes involved. As it is, improving an organization is never an individual action.

Furthermore, it is important that the management assumes responsibility for the results and, if necessary, the proposed change of culture (= the implementation of the plan). Higher & Company can assist you during the implementation process, as well.
