ReOrg. How to Get it Right

More about the book

Most executives will lead or participate in a reorganization, which is a key strategy for unlocking value in a changing business landscape. However, reorgs often generate anxiety and fear among employees, diverting their focus from daily tasks. This distraction can lead to significant costs in management time and attention, and many reorgs fail to achieve their intended outcomes. Companies frequently view reorgs as complex processes, often outsourcing them to individuals lacking business insight. Stephen Heidari-Robinson and Suzanne Heywood, former leaders at McKinsey, offer a practical guide to effectively planning and executing a reorg, simplifying and accelerating the process. Drawing on their combined experience and extensive research involving over 2,500 executives, the authors transform the art of reorganization into a replicable science. Their straightforward approach consists of five steps that provide a logical framework for executives, facilitating commitment and success among both leaders and employees in the new organizational structure.
