Scaling Up
Design your organisation for success
Introduction
All companies are created with the goal for future success. Designing an organization from the ground up is something you do on an iterative basis; you design and redesign. But how can you stimulate a work environment that’s based on freedom and responsibility that lets your people create their own growth paths while scaling up? It all starts with your company’s culture because the culture is what establishes the basis of your organization and your organizational structure derives from this. This may sound simple; but making the right decisions can be challenging. What worked well yesterday might not be the best solution for tomorrow, due to changes such as (international) expansion, acquisitions, economic challenges and evolving leadership requirements. You don’t want to slow down your organization. You want to keep the level of innovation high and the decision making processes agile, so what do you do? Let this chapter guide you in building a robust and future-proof organization. You’ll get inspired by the expertise of leading entrepreneurs from all over the globe.
