Success and failures in organization design s nitin paul williams - reg no r...NITINPAULWILLIAMSS
This document discusses organization design and factors for successful design. It notes that a successful design will control business processes, assign accountability, enable rapid responses, deliver on promises, and empower employees. Key factors include having a value-adding corporate center, effective shared services, strong collaboration support, agile ways of working, a flat management structure with frontline focus, and clearly delineated profit and loss responsibilities. Common mistakes in design are not changing structure when strategy changes, having efficiency-focused functions oversee effectiveness-focused ones, and having short-term functions oversee long-term ones. Signs of a successful design include resources moving quickly as needed, ability to adapt to changes, efficient work, the right information reaching the right people
This document summarizes reasons why organizational change efforts often fail and ways they can succeed. It discusses 17 common reasons for failure or success, including: a lack of clear performance focus; not having a compelling case for change; failing to engage pivotal groups; insufficient leadership willingness to change; causing more disruption than needed; and bypassing formal change management and communications plans. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing an organization's current state, keeping project information confidential, and communicating details of changes clearly. Addressing these factors can help ensure organizational redesigns are "done right" and achieve their performance goals.
Execution - The Discipline of getting things done GMR Group
This book was published in the year 2002 and I had read this book at that time. Revisited and read this book again just to evaluate the context. Even today the context of this book is very relevant.
Too many leaders fool themselves into thinking their companies are well run. They are like the parents in Garrison Keillor’s fictional Lake Wobegon, all of whom think their children are above average. Then the top performers at Lake Wobegon High school arrive at the University of Minnesota or Colgate or Princeton and find out they are average or even below average. Similarly , when corporate leaders start understanding how the GE’s and Emerson Electrics of this world are run- how superbly they get things done- they discover how far they have to go before they become World class in Execution.
Here is the fundamental problem: People think of execution as the tactical side of business, something leaders delegate while thy focus on the perceived “bigger” issues. This idea is completely wrong. Execution is not just tactics—it is a discipline and a system. It has to be built into a company’s strategy, its goals, and its culture. And the leader of the organization must be deeply engaged in it. He can delegate its substance.
We talk to many leaders who fall victim to the gap between promises they’ve made and results their organizations delivered. They frequently tell us they have a problem with accountability—people aren’t doing the things they’re supposed to do to implement a plan. They desperately want to make changes of some kind, but what do they need to change? They don’t know.
Execution is a specific set of behaviors and techniques that companies need to master in order to have competitive advantage.

1. The Changing Responsibilities Of The
CIO: Avoiding Common Pitfalls
“A tighter economy means the enterprise needs to realize benefits even faster. Will the enterprise’s
digital initiatives support the kind of tech impact CIOs want?”
Organizations are eager to embrace technological advancements swiftly but encounter a formidable
challenge: the increasingly arduous task of acquiring the essential talent to drive this transformation.
In the current fervent job market, securing professionals for key tech-centric positions, ranging from
visionary Chief Information Officers (CIOs) to proficient developers, has become an uphill battle.
Digital initiatives frequently need more time to avoid delays, primarily due to human and
organizational factors, including siloed behaviors, talent deficiencies, resistance to change, and
conflicting priorities. To overcome these challenges, current technology leaders must keenly tune in
to the signals conveying the preferences and apprehensions of top-level executives. Subsequently,
they should proactively identify a business partner who shares their dedication to an initiative
aligned with the organization’s highest priorities. This collaborative approach ensures smoother
execution and greater success in achieving strategic objectives.
Introduction
Conversations regarding digital transformation currently revolve around five critical areas. In this
blog, we organize these topics into actionable steps that CIOs emphasize as immediate and essential
for the present and near future. These steps lay the foundation for the broader, strategic moves
shaping their approach. As you peer into the end of your organization’s digital journey, use these
insights as litmus tests for your strategy, helping you pinpoint areas that may require closer tactical
examination.
2. In this blog post, we have highlighted five critical areas that are taking center stage to streamline the
most pressing, real-world actions that CIOs emphasize as vital both in the present and in the near
future. These immediate steps lay the groundwork before delving into the broader, strategic
maneuvers that mold their approach. As you peer into the horizon of your tech strategy, consider
using these insights as litmus tests to gauge your approach and pinpoint aspects that warrant more
tactical attention.
Pitfall 1: Communicating Your Personal Brand
Every transition to a fresh organization presents a unique opportunity to showcase your identity and
mold new perspectives of who you are and the value you bring. Over time, these perceptions
amalgamate to form your personal brand. Interestingly, many of the choices a CIO makes during
those early days in a new role are the defining moments that shape this personal brand, whether by
design or accident.
Therefore, it’s imperative to be acutely aware and purposeful in crafting your desired personal brand.
Consider whether your explicit or implicit communications align with or undermine the image you
wish to project. In essence, your brand should be a deliberate and consistent reflection of your
identity, values, and the value you bring to your organization.
Recommendations to Avoid this Pitfall
Understand Top Management Expectations
To dodge this pitfall of misinterpreting your organizational priorities, start by deeply comprehending
what your top management anticipates from the CIO role. This expectation changes widely, from
pushing business transformation to managing costs. You can customize your strategy to align with
the business’s overarching objectives and goals by assessing where the priority lies.
Craft Your Leadership Brand Statement
Your personal brand as a CIO is pivotal in shaping your success. Create a clear and straightforward
leadership brand statement that defines what you want to be known for and what you aim to deliver.
For example, it could be something like, “I desire to be recognized as an innovator (x) so that I can
drive transformative change (y).” This statement will guide your actions and decisions, ensuring they
align with your intended brand.
Identify and Reinforce Desired Behaviors
To avoid projecting an unintended personal brand, create a list of behaviors reinforcing your desired
image. Think about the specific situations where these behaviors are most impactful and make a
conscious effort to practice them consistently. Simultaneously, identify behaviors associated with
your old brand or your previous role. Recognize where stakeholders might still associate you with
these old behaviors and actively avoid replicating them.
3. Pitfall 2: Assessing IT Perception Too Quickly
Almost every organization has a certain level of discontent regarding IT services. The heavy reliance
on technology often frustrates stakeholders if their needs aren’t met promptly. Moreover, the arrival
of a new leader tends to amplify these grievances, as people seize the opportunity to voice their
concerns in the hopes of addressing their issues. This natural tendency to focus on the negatives can
cloud the true perception of IT within the organization.
The pitfall here arises when a new CIO rushes to gauge these perceptions too hastily, relying solely
on initial feedback during the early days of their tenure. Assessing the true state of IT perception
within the organization requires a more nuanced approach that allows for a deeper exploration of
the prevailing sentiments and whether they align with reality. Only then can the CIO accurately
determine which issues demand attention.
Addressing the Pitfall:
Here are some recommended measures to avoid falling into this pitfall and to establish a clearer
understanding of the organization’s IT landscape:
Dive into the Current IT Operating Model
Begin by immersing yourself in the organization’s existing IT operating model. Spend quality time
with your direct reports and team members to comprehend how IT currently operates. Evaluate
whether it aligns with and supports the enterprise’s business model and strategic objectives. This
basic learning is necessary before making any significant assessments or changes.
Recognize Talent and Operational Gaps
Engage in open discussions with your direct reports and team members to identify gaps in talent,
operating methods, and tools. Understand the nature of these gaps, whether they relate to skills,
motivation, or workload capacity. Identifying these areas of improvement is essential for setting the
stage for effective changes and enhancements.
Listen to Stakeholder Feedback
To gain a comprehensive view of IT effectiveness and contribution, seek feedback from a diverse set
of stakeholders, including members of the C-suite. Understand the organization’s mission-critical
priorities and the role that IT plays in achieving them. Compare the feedback received with your
findings from the previous two steps. If necessary, create a plan to address the root causes of any
discrepancies, aligning IT more closely with the organization’s objectives.
4. Pitfall 3: Avoiding Unfavorable Comparisons
Among the pitfalls new CIOs should avoid, one of the simplest yet potentially damaging is the
inclination to let their ego overshadow their effectiveness. This often manifests as self-
aggrandizement, where they boast about their achievements in previous roles or organizations. Such
comparisons can inadvertently lead to explicit criticism of the current situation they have inherited, a
move that can be particularly offensive if their prior experience was in a different country or culture.
During leadership transitions, you are constantly in the spotlight. Whether intentional or
unintentional, every word, action, or comment will be observed, shared, discussed, and dissected.
Moreover, in these early days, you may not be familiar with who was responsible for the aspects you
criticize, nor their network of friends, allies, and agendas. Your new staff may form hasty opinions
about you, and observers may develop a negative perception that can be challenging to reset.
Addressing the Pitfall:
Here are practical measures to avoid falling into the pitfall of making unfavorable comparisons and
ensure a smoother transition into your new role:
Steer Clear of Self-Indulgence
Resist the urge to indulge in frequent boasting about your past accomplishments or how your
previous organization did things better, even if it’s true. Instead of telling people how you did
something, focus on understanding how and why things are done in your new environment. Adopt a
listening-first approach, asking questions and learning from your colleagues and team members.
Prioritize Relationship Building
As your first order of business, establish connections with your direct reports. Recognize that
forming, norming, storming, and performing are phases your inherited team will go through. Foster
close relationships with them and get to know them personally. Your team members should become
staunch allies and the vehicles for realizing your vision and objectives. In turn, they will rely on you as
their advocate and coach.
Empathize and Reflect
Put yourself in the shoes of your predecessor and imagine how you would like people to speak of you
when you’ve moved on and your replacement is navigating the role you once held. This cycle is likely
happening in your previous position concurrently and will recur in future parts. Empathizing with
your predecessor’s journey can help you appreciate the importance of leaving a positive legacy and
how your words and actions can impact your reputation.
5. Pitfall 4: Grasping the Organization’s True Priorities
Navigating the intricate landscape of an organization can be akin to exploring a complex maze.
Priorities may not always be apparent and lurk beneath the surface, waiting to be unveiled.
Organizations frequently grapple with conflicting priorities, where different divisions advocate for
their needs, making it challenging to discern the genuine “top” priorities demanding immediate
attention.
CIOs who hastily assume they know the organization’s priorities risk stumbling into a common pitfall.
They might set a course based on these assumptions, only to discover later that their chosen
direction needs to be corrected or revised. Before embarking on significant, high-visibility initiatives,
investing time in comprehending the organization’s true priorities is paramount. An initial
misjudgment can prove costlier and more conspicuous than similar errors made later in their tenure,
potentially tarnishing their nascent reputation and impeding their effectiveness.
Addressing the Pitfall:
To evade this pitfall and make informed decisions aligned with the organization’s priorities, consider
the following measures:
Pause and Reflect to Gain Time
Even if pressure mounts for immediate action, resist the urge to make decisions hastily. Instead,
maintain the status quo temporarily, allowing yourself a window to listen, learn, and enrich your
insights. Use this time to explore various scenarios and alternatives before taking significant, highly
visible actions. Strive to strike a balance among the inevitable urgent demands you’ll encounter.
Secure Executive Sponsorship
Gaining executive sponsorship for your decisions and priorities is crucial, especially during the
transition period. Seek buy-in from key stakeholders who can champion your initiatives. This support
can differ between a smooth journey and a bumpy, short-lived one.
Practice Empathetic Inquiry
When confronted with urgent matters, engage in careful inquiry and active listening. Show empathy
by acknowledging the urgency and expressing your understanding. For instance, you can say, “I
understand why this is so urgent for you.” Follow up with, “I’m committed to conducting thorough
research, but as I’m new here, I’ll need some time to get up to speed.” If you feel compelled to take
action, present a well-considered analysis with alternative solutions, demonstrating diligence and
care in the face of pressure.
6. Pitfall 5: Grasping Business Capabilities Effectively
In the dynamic landscape of a new role as a CIO, it’s not uncommon to fall into the trap of
prematurely making assumptions about an organization’s capabilities and capacity. Past experiences
may inadvertently tint your perspective, leading to confirmation bias, where you see what you
expect rather than what’s genuinely present.
The wise approach to sidestep this pitfall involves investing more time in gathering concrete evidence
of the existing capabilities and capacity within the organization before succumbing to the temptation
of making quick commitments that may not align with reality. A deep understanding of these
elements can ensure that your early endeavors are executed smoothly and deliver tangible value.
Addressing the Pitfall:
Here are actionable measures to help CIOs avoid the pitfall of misjudging organizational capabilities
and capacity:
Align Initiatives with Capabilities and Capacity
Determine how the organization’s current initiatives must be adapted to meet future objectives.
Collaborate with stakeholders within and outside your department or division to ensure the
organization’s capabilities and capacity align with these goals. Assess whether the organization has a
capacity deficit that can be addressed through external resources or alternative strategies. Consider
factors such as your current budget, company performance, and organizational priorities. These
aspects can serve as additional checks to validate your assumptions before proceeding.
Understand Business Capabilities
Take the time to comprehend the business capabilities necessary to deliver the existing business
model and anticipate future needs. Ensure that the strategic plan for IT is intricately connected to the
broader business strategic plan. This alignment guarantees that your IT initiatives directly support
and enhance the organization’s objectives.
Leverage Experience and Expertise
Draw upon your accumulated experience and training as a CIO to confidently navigate the path
forward. Your background equips you with valuable insights and problem-solving skills that can guide
your decision-making and help you avoid costly missteps.
7. The Final Wrap
The ever-evolving role of a CIO needs constant transformation and adaptation to new strategies and
tactics that are derived from experience and career transitions. These become the most invaluable
tools for any organization, which can be your shield and sword when undergoing a critical failure.
These measures help prevent or overcome while strengthening your organizational core. Mitigating
situational risks is grounded in something other than technical expertise but rather arises from your
mastery of crucial skills: listening, empathizing, and envisioning. Honing these skills would help you
navigate the complexities swiftly and allow you grace and confidence in the long run.
