Team Structure and Restructuring
Businesses need the right roles and structure to operate at their best. As your organization develops and the markets change, the right roles and structure might change too. Restructuring can be difficult for everyone involved, but it should be easier if you follow the process and act in good faith.
It’s important to regularly check that your organization is structured the best way for success. Having the right roles structured the right way means you can meet the needs of your customers/clients, community and take your Non-Profit to the next level. If things have changed and you think a new structure could improve the way your organization operates, you might want to investigate restructuring.
