Our Services
Organisational Strategy, Design & Change
To operate at its full potential, an organisation needs a sound strategy and a robust design that’s also flexible enough to meet changing conditions, and to capitalise on new opportunities.
The team at MartinJenkins are skilled at all aspects of organisational strategy, design and change. We can assist with clarifying your strategic direction and designing your organisational structure, as well as identifying and applying ways to drive your organisation forward, particularly if your organisation is on the threshold of change. If you are planning a new direction or improvements to aspects of your activity, we can also help you manage these transitions in an expert, professional manner.
Some key questions:
- Does your organisation need to change its direction to take account of the external environment?
- Is management clear about which activities the organisation should undertake, and how it assigns accountability for delivering them in a time of change?
- Is there certainty surrounding the future skills required by the organisation, and the process of selecting and developing people to employ those skills? Are changes impacting on the types of skills required by your organisation?
- Does your organisation have a recognised method for designing systems and processes that are robust and effective?
- Can you describe the type of culture you want to encourage, and does this culture currently exist?
How we can assist
MartinJenkins provides the following services in this area:
Defining Objectives, Roles & Strategies
There are several advantages in engaging a “fresh pair of eyes” when defining your organisation’s objectives, roles and strategies.
The MartinJenkins team is skilled at identifying your specific strengths and advantages within your operating environment. Our real-world experience alerts us to the less-obvious opportunities, and provides clarity around the big-picture issues facing your organisation.
We can also deliver formal documentation for both the public and private sector – including strategic plans, annual reports, Statements of Intent, purchase agreements, and work programmes.
Organisational Design
Organisational design is all about getting the fundamentals right – and creating a framework which allows your organisation to flourish.
Once the objectives, roles and strategies of an organisation are clear, we apply these to all aspects of the organisation. Our recommendations will encompass internal accountabilities (structure), the skills and type of people needed, the systems and processes required, and the kind of culture that should be nurtured.
Driving Performance
Being clear about what your organisation is seeking to achieve is half the story – the other half is delivering.
We are skilled at developing achievable, workable performance measures that are proven to boost and sustain performance. This requires an environment where staff and management are equipped for success, with drivers built into both strategic plans and personal performance targets.
Change Management
Implementing change is a challenging process that requires adept and sensitive handling – particularly to maintain normal business operations during the period of change.
The MartinJenkins team can help you manage a successful, efficient transition. We can assist with: detailed design of organisational structures and systems, analysis of required competencies, performance systems and documentation, a full range of HR functions (including recruitment and managed exits), and with the move towards a new culture.
