There are three key changes to the organizational structure as a business grows:
Evolutionary changes within core functions in the company org chart. An organization can be parsed into 3 “meta-functions”-- MAKERS: those who make the product (manufacturing, operations, software development, engineering, services delivery, etc.); SELLERS: those who sell it; and “MEASURERS: those who set and measure progress and organizational health (e.g. finance, human resources, COO, President, CEO)
For larger organizations or organizations with specialized needs, additional finance-related functions may be required to resource an effective finance function (e.g. internal audit, transfer pricing department, corporate vs. divisional finance organizations, and more).
We believe that the globe of talent is comprised of two hemispheres – optimizers and builders. Each is critical for different stages of company growth and development.
BSG's focus is on the builders.
