Strategy and Planning Challenges
Organizational strategies often need updating or re-thinking during a time of change and growth. Otherwise there can be a lack of alignment and integration between teams and a loss of effectiveness in advancing the organizational goals.
Our Approach
Allelo will work with the senior leadership team to develop and implement a planning framework. This will support across team alignment to the organizational goals and form the basis for internal reporting. Part of the related work includes updating or creating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).
Organizational Structure Challenges
Creating new positions, or changing existing ones, can lead to a lack of clarity in roles, responsibilities, information-sharing and decision-making. This in turn can lead to gaps in accountability and barriers to people working effectively. Ineffective organizational structures can also lead to a duplication of efforts and wasted resources. These situations can cause significant frustration for both staff and management.
Our Approach
Allelo supports organization structure changes that clarifies roles and responsibilities. Often this review includes committee structures as well - identifying their goals, membership and accountability.
Finance and HR Challenges
Decision makers and teams may have different financial and HR requirements as the organization evolves. Leaders may no longer have access to the reports needed for decision-making. Risks may be different but still need to be managed carefully. Systems, polices and processes that were effective before may no longer function well, causing frustration and wasted time.
Our Approach
Allelo will support the development of the Finance and HR functions by providing system analysis, strategies, best practices in polies and procedures, and support for the related project implementation.
Values and Culture Challenges
In a time of organizational change, there is both risk and opportunity regarding workplace culture. New team members are looking for signals as to how the team functions including which behaviors are encouraged and which are not. This impacts team members' ability to contribute and be effective in the roles for which they were hired.
Our Approach
Allelo helps to clarify and align organizational values and clearly define associated behaviors to help create the kind of healthy and psychologically safe environment that's needed for effective growth.
