Organisational optimisation

Streamline your business structure for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. We offer services such as organisational design, process improvement and change management to tackle risks. This includes addressing inefficient processes, low employee engagement, skill gaps and compliance challenges.

Organisational design is the foundation of a thriving business, involving the strategic alignment of people, resources and processes to create an effective structure that supports your company’s goals. At BDO South Africa, we understand that a well-designed organisation elevates productivity, enhances employee engagement and ultimately fuels business success.

We offer a comprehensive range of services, including these five key areas:

  • Organisational design: crafting structures that support business objectives and enhance operational efficiency
  • Diagnostic assessment: identifying areas for improvement within your current organisational set-up
  • Process improvement: streamlining workflows to eliminate inefficiencies
  • Work studies: evaluating and optimising employee roles and responsibilities
  • Change management: ensuring smooth transitions during organisational changes.


These are common challenges we can help address:

  • Processes and structure: inefficient processes can lead to delays, errors and duplicated efforts, harming productivity, profitability and customer satisfaction 
  • Employee engagement and productivity: ambiguous roles and unclear structures can result in disengaged employees - we design roles and responsibilities that align with employees' strengths, fostering a motivated and high-performing workforce
  • Skill gaps and talent shortages: rapid changes in the internal and external environment can create skill gaps - we identify these gaps and develop customised training programmes to equip your team with the necessary skills
  • Change management: organisational changes often face resistance - we develop and implement effective change management strategies that address employee concerns, provide support and minimise disruption
  • Legal and compliance: organisational changes must adhere to legal requirements -we offer expert legal guidance to ensure that your changes are compliant with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Financial risks: poorly executed organisational changes can lead to financial inefficiencies - our team conducts cost-benefit analyses and optimises your structure to minimise financial risks
  • Performance management risks: misaligned performance management systems can derail your objectives - we create transparent and fair performance management frameworks that drive employee productivity and support your business goals.
