Our Approach
Organization redesign is inevitable—half of organizations have gone through a redesign in the last two years and the rest are expected to do so in the next twenty four months. The benefits of a successful redesign are clear: faster growth, better decision making, and greater efficiency. Successful redesigns don’t just fix pain points, they go beyond one or two interventions to deliver on a holistic set of org design imperatives.
We assess your unique strengths and opportunities to design a more effective operating model by linking to business strategy, ensuring accountability, enabling enterprise-wide collaboration, and addressing behavior change and other barriers holding your people back. We help you solve your biggest people and organizational challenges, to help you reach sustainable growth and deliver on your purpose.
Makr has a unique foundation from working with creative firms that helps us to look at your organization and people challenges from a creative problem solving perspective.
Organizational design helps folks become better innovators, creators, makers and doers, to envision what could be and to help them build the future way of doing things—designing a new story. Our operational design expertise helps folks get to their future, and to build new robust support systems and tools that get them where they want to go—to make and execute ideas and meet the workforce and consumer challenges of today.
