Teams & Organisations
Are the people in your organisation empowered and engaged at every level?
VISION
Your products and activity were your primary vision at the start of your business venture. Once a company grows, that vision should also be applied inwards, to the workings of the organisation. The design and structure of a large organisation is a complex puzzle, but a crucial key to success.
The heart of the puzzle is People.
Why do people disengage from their jobs, why do they leave? Why does a team not perform, even when all the skills are present?
At Kinetic Consulting, we help you pick apart the puzzle. We bring to the table our tools for analysis, as well as our experience and knowledge, and we work with you to determine new organisational solutions that will make a lasting difference.
ACTION
To compete successfully in today’s business environment, companies have to be lean, flexible and responsive to their customers. To achieve this, organizations are moving away from the traditional ways of working (i.e. hierarchical and functionally driven structures) in favor of team-based approaches which emphasize the empowerment of employees and the sharing of leadership responsibilities.
- We get involved to help ensure that your teams and your organisation are working at optimum performance. The range for intervention is broad. Some specific examples include:
- Organisation / team effectiveness assessments: we give you a clear analysis of strengths and opportunities, and present recommendations for positive change.
- Team chartering: we guide your teams to define their unique purpose and contribution to the business and the organisation and we ensure that all team members have clearly defined roles .
- Organisation design: we help you understand and evaluatethe current organisational structure and we make recommendations for changes in order to achieve optimum performance.
- Employee surveys: we customize employee surveys to your needs and present relevant and actionable conclusions.
- Performance Management Systems: we design customized performance management systems to help your organisation and people be effectively focused on delivering the business goals, as well as empowered and rewarded to do so.
- Talent Management Systems: we guide you in designing simple and efficient systems to ensure the best management of your people, from recruitment, through training and skills development, to assessments and appraisals.
- Competency Modeling: we partner with you to design the few key behaviours and competencies that are at the core of your organisation and company culture, the ones that make it unique.
Our work surrounding high performance teams and organisations is based on the Galbraith Model. We analyse the 7 following areas in order to define the structure of an organisation :
- Information : what is the information flow, how do people get the information they need in order to perform their job?
- Tasks : what are the specific tasks that the organisation values and focuses on?
- Decision-making : how are decisions made, by whom, are they final?
- Structure : how are teams structured, both formally and informally?
- Leadership : what style of leadership is valued, what kind of leadership is applied (operational/strategic), how does the management team view its role, how does it communicate?
- People : how are talents developed, do people have the skills to do their job, how do people collaborate, how are conflicts handled?
- Reward and Recognition : what is the reward structure, what behaviours are rewarded and how?
Our goal is to help our clients balance these areas, in line with their strategy and vision, in order to achieve optimum performance.

We will assess these areas, pick out the strengths and weaknesses and offer our range of services in order to address those obstacles and help you overcome them.
The outcome: an organisation made up of high performance teams that are designed for success.
