Organisation design, team building and change management.

Change how the organisation works, not only its chart. An organisation chart does not change how people work. We design the organisation around the decisions it must take, build and scale the teams, lead the change with the people concerned and keep HR running through the transition.

People in short

People expertise at ARCHITEKT covers organisation design, building and scaling teams, change management and a transition HR function. We draw the organisation the strategy needs, recruit and grow the teams that will hold it, and carry the people through the change, with the HR basics kept running during the move.

Specialties

Organisation Design

Design the organisation around the decisions it has to take: roles, scopes, governance bodies and the interfaces between teams. The chart is drawn after those choices, not before.

Team Building & Scaling

Define the profiles, recruit, onboard and set the pace of growth, treating the first hires as a decision about how the team is built rather than as vacancies to fill.

Change Management

Prepare, announce and support the change with the people concerned and their representatives. Success is measured by adoption, not by how widely the message was sent.

Transition HR

Keep the HR fundamentals running through a transformation: the dialogue with employee representative bodies, the pay review and the development plan, until the handover to the people who will hold them.

An internal team that takes over the digital production an agency ran is the destination of From Agency to In-House, a programme. People designs the organisation and builds its teams whether or not work comes back from a supplier.

Holding the result of several teams and suppliers up to a date is the work of Delivery; People designs the organisation, builds the teams and leads the change that lets them hold it.

The target operating model is decided by Business Transformation, in Advisory; People puts it in place in the organisation, its teams and its people.

When the people function itself needs an executive, the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) seat holds it through the transition.

Questions

How does People differ from Delivery?
Delivery holds the result of several teams and suppliers up to a date. People designs the organisation, builds the teams and leads the change that lets them hold that result once the programme ends.
How does People differ from Business Transformation?
Business Transformation, an Advisory offer, decides the target operating model. People puts that model in place in the organisation, with the teams and the people it concerns.
How does People differ from From Agency to In-House?
From Agency to In-House is a programme with one destination: an internal team that takes over the digital production an agency ran. People is the capability that designs an organisation and builds its teams, whether or not any work comes back from a supplier.
Do you replace our HR team?
No. The transition HR function keeps the HR fundamentals running until the handover to your own team. When the function itself needs an executive, an interim HR director is the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) seat of Interim Management.
