Organizational change that works.
Many organizations adapt their structure or working methods to better align with a new strategy, business growth, or changing markets.
The biggest challenge and time investment isn't in making the decision to change, but in designing and implementing an organization that ultimately better suits the new needs.
That's the Avant Edge difference. We partner with you to propel your business forward, powered by the collective strength of your team.

Roles and teams that align with company strategy

Behavior that fuels ambition
Structures only work when people can operate effectively within them. Hence a reflective behaviors are defined, taught, and evaluated for the development of a company culture which accelerates enterprise ambitions.
"When structure, roles, decision-making and behaviour are well aligned, a sustainable organization is formed that is able to actually implement its strategy.
Our approach
-
Organization analysis
We provide insight into where structure, roles and collaboration can better align with the organization's ambitions. We analyze;
- reporting lines,
- leadership overhead structures,
- meeting efficiency, and
- compute the cost of operation on various levels.
-
Organization design
We design an organization that supports smart collaboration, decision-making, and efficiency in operations. For this we:
- define organigrams which support enterprise ambitions,
- optimize role & responsibility mapping, and
- define procedures which emphasize what has been working well already.
-
Implementation
We guide the organization in:
- making the new structure work,
- by developing clear transition roadmaps,
- communication strategies,
- role mobility programs, and
- plans to align a wide variety of stakeholders (e.g. works councils, sr. leadership, line management).
