Organizational Structure Optimization

por | abr 22, 2025

Today, we have become accustomed to news about large layoffs in companies of different sectors and sizes.

Cost-cutting driven by business context and market conditions appears as the main justification.

Of course, periods of growth, hiring, and acquisitions contribute positively to team morale, but structural optimizations and workforce reductions are inevitable.

There are different approaches to making these decisions and to their implementation.

In our projects addressing this type of challenge, we use three complementary criteria to define target structures. We consider costs, productivity, and service levels as elements of the equation.

To achieve this, it is important to map the key processes of each area so that evaluation and benchmarking indicators can be defined.

When conducting benchmarks, we use both process and industry perspectives, drawing on market reports and interviews with specialists.

This allows us to obtain a broader view of optimization opportunities.

We carry out financial impact analyses of the actions, together with the necessary qualitative assessments.

Dealing with people who dedicate important moments of their lives to their companies requires care and sensitivity in the implementation of these plans.

Our specialists are ready to support the entire process.
