Case Study
Strategic planning and organisation design
Insight
Our client came to us as internal roles had not been reviewed since before Covid and the Head realised the future strategic plan and organisation design would need to satisfy different aims.
Solution
We had a trusted relationship from previous work and were recognised as somebody who would give honest input to what could be a provocative process.
We created a bespoke template to gather feedback from staff about their workloads and priorities, and they identified things they were no longer doing or could stop. We then facilitated a wider leadership workshop around implications of the strategic plan on the school, ensuring everyone understood the Why. We also reviewed values and philosophies to ensure buy-in.
Outcome
The proposed roles were agreed with the team and now the Head has confidence these are aligned with the strategic plan. It’s clear that friction has been removed where previously the team felt workloads and roles were imbalanced. Potential skill gaps in the team have been identified, enabling future recruitment to be focused on the additional skills needed.
