Drivingforces provides independent professional advice to small to medium size businesses, sport and not for profit organisations on their structures. This entails a review of:

• The roles, accountabilities and effectiveness of the elements that make up the organisation’s structure
• Where the organisation performs well and where it does not with recommendations for improvement and an indicative implementation plan and timeframe.

Management and staff structure

Drivingforces provides advice on the ability of management and staff structures to meet the organisation’s operational needs competently and professionally.

This involves a review of the organisation’s operating functions, the scope of work required to perform them, the capability and the skills (and training) to enable management and staff to meet the highest standards of organisational competency and professionalism.

The review provides an opportunity for boards and managers to –

• apply a fresh and objective view of the organisation’s current and longer term management/staff needs
• streamline its various functions into cohesive, integrated business units
• advise on staff numbers and skills
• outline ways of improve its performance by up - skilling existing staff and/or appointing new staff with the right skills
• maintain improvement by implementing professional development and training programmes
• consider succession and exit strategies
