Organisational Reviews

HBA Consulting has been engaged by a wide range of organisations in the public, private and not for profit sectors to review key aspects of their operations.

Typically, clients seek us out for assistance when:

Functions are being brought together via a merger or amalgamation process (e.g. machinery of government changes,

budget changes that mean decisions have to be made about new resource allocation arrangements (e.g. increased or decreased budget availability),

Board/CEO initiated reviews,

disputation about classification, functions and remuneration etc.

Our Senior Consultants have decades of classification, organisational review and design, industrial relations and change management experience that means that we can undertake these types of processes using a holistic approach that takes into account all of the key factors that can ‘make or break’ any change process.

Fundamentally, our approach centres on a ‘structure follows strategy’ methodology that focuses on what the outcome of the proposed change to structure is supposed to achieve, and then looks at how the organisation is currently structured and what needs to stay the same and what needs to change in order to deliver efficiently and effectively on the outcomes. At the same time as we are considering the design options, we are also thinking about what the industrial obligations and the practical implementation issues and risks might be of options as they are being considered.

Perfect design that can’t be readily implemented (especially in relation to required change timeframes and budget savings imperatives) isn’t really a viable option or solution. Early identification and consideration of issues like this is one of the key benefits of using the highly experienced HBA Consulting team when reviewing how your organisation works and what needs to change to meet the challenges of the future.
