organisation design
Organisation Design Firm in the UK
Organisation design support to build a structure that matches your strategy and how work actually gets done.
The employer challenge
Where organisation design helps
Organisational structures often evolve informally over time, leaving unclear reporting lines, duplicated roles or gaps that slow decision-making down.
Business outcomes
A structure aligned to strategic priorities
Clearer roles, accountabilities and reporting lines
Reduced duplication and decision-making friction
What the service includes
- Current-state structure and role analysis
- Design of target structure and role definitions
- Support planning the transition
Not included in this service
- Legal advice on changing employment terms or contracts: this should be obtained from a qualified employment lawyer alongside any structural change.
- An assumption that redesign automatically requires redundancies: many structural changes involve no headcount reduction.
- Final decisions on organisational structure: these remain with your leadership team, with Apex HR providing analysis, options and design support.
- Guaranteed efficiency, productivity or cost savings from a new structure.

What clients usually ask
No. Design changes can involve role changes without headcount reduction. Where redundancies are involved, this is planned separately and carefully.
Decision rights describe who is accountable for making which decisions within a structure. Clarifying this alongside reporting lines can help reduce duplicated effort and slow decision-making.
No. Apex HR provides analysis and design options. Final decisions on organisational structure remain with your leadership team.
