STRUCTURE

Structure – building for success

Structure is the enabler of strategy; it is how we organize ourselves to achieve the purpose and intent of the organisation. How an organization is structured is related to the complexity of its environment, the intent, and the work to be done. All organisms have structure and Requisite Enterprise designs and develops organisations in this light – to the nature of things.

There are multiple dimensions which naturally occur in providing a form or structure ;

Vertically in terms of increasing levels of complexity and unique value-adding work – there are seven well defined themes of work (previously referred to as levels) with an understanding that there is a likelihood of an eighth level emerging. Each level or theme of work is different in nature but builds on the preceding levels. This forms the spine of the organization. Each work theme must be present for optimal effectiveness, empowerment, transparency, and trust. Click here to find out what happens if a work theme is missing.

Horizontal structure is how functions work across value chains. This leads to discrete clusters of roles, teams, projects, hubs, systems of work, ways of working and cross functional roles, to name a few. These become the organs and muscles of the organisational body, which are attached to the vertical spine.

      The rural, peaceful villages of Riebeek Kasteel and Riebeek West may soon see heavy duty trucks rumbling through our streets every eight minutes.  We may also experience waves of job hunters descending on the community in the forlorn hope of finding work as this mega new project kicks off.  Do we need a similar experience…Read more Feet of Cement in a New Corporate Age.

    • Empowerment is the Only Way to Go.
      by Andrew Olivier on March 19, 2025 at 5:40 am

      Choosing to work with a board and/or an organisation that can really make a difference to people's lives, is not only rewarding, its empowering. Recently, after a thirty five year journey, I came back full cycle. This is a T-Shirt I saw last week work by a worker in a banana farm in Ghana.  A Fair Trade certified Banana Plantation employing 700 workers on a permanent full time basis.  I was deeply moved by seeing this T-shirt but said nothign to my colleagues. Here is the story... The post Empowerment is the Only Way to Go. first appeared on Andrew Olivier's Blog.
