New Neurohacks | 10th July
Design an Organisation That Actually Works
Creating a new organisation chart is often the easy part. The real challenge is designing a structure that delivers business outcomes, makes decision-making clear, and ensures everyone understands their role. This month we’ve added two new Organisation Design Neurohacks that guide you from defining your future organisation through to creating clarity and accountability. We’ve also included a practical checklist to help you measure whether your change has delivered the benefits you expected. Together, these resources provide practical tools to help turn good ideas into lasting organisational success.
Defining the Future state
Moving straight to organisation charts often leads to poor redesign decisions. This Neurohack introduces the GUIDE framework, helping you define a future state based on business outcomes rather than assumptions or personal preference. You’ll learn how to identify what matters most, establish design principles, generate alternative organisation designs, clarify accountability, and evaluate each option to create a structure that supports long-term success.
Creating Clarity and Accountability
A new organisation structure only succeeds when people understand who is responsible for what and how decisions are made. This Neurohack introduces the CLEAR framework to help you define accountability, strengthen links between teams, establish clear decision pathways, avoid unnecessary matrix complexity, and reinforce effective ways of working. The result is faster decisions, better collaboration, less confusion, and a design that works in everyday practice.
Resources Checklist – Start measuring the benefits
Turn your business case into measurable results. This practical checklist guides you step by step from understanding the expected benefits to defining meaningful measures, validating your data, and tracking progress over time. It helps you prove whether change has delivered the intended outcomes, identify issues early, and demonstrate value with confidence.
