Effective Organization Structure Acts As Life Blood of Business

An organization structure is the way in which the tasks and subtasks required to implement a strategy are arranged. The diagrammatical representation of structure could be an organization chart but a chart shows only the 'skeleton'. The 'flesh and blood' that brings to life an organization is the several mechanisms that support the structure. All these cannot be depicted on a chart. But a strategist has to grapple with the complexities of creating the structure, making it work, redesigning when required, and implementing changes that will keep the structure relevant to the needs of the strategies that have to be implemented. Successful strategy formulation does not guarantee successful strategy implementation. Varies among different types & sizes of organizations Organization Structure Organizational structure & the controls that are a part of it affect firm's performance. When the firm's strategy is not matched with the most appropriate structure & controls, performance declines.

Organization Changes    


In any business process outsourcing initiative, some business processes are outsourced and many are kept in house within the organization itself. If not planned and executed properly, the separation and integration of businesses processes cannot work smoothly. First you should make organizational changes to support the outsource relationship with the vendors.

The upper-level management should create four groups within their organization to support smooth functioning of the outsource relationship. By clearly separating the responsibilities of each group and aligning them with common set of goals, organizations can achieve their strategic goals like improved share-older value, increased operational efficiency, reduced time to market, etc.

-  Executive Group

This group consists of executives from the organization and from outsources vendor’s company. Though this group will not involve in daily outsource operational issues, the group members will oversee all other groups formed to successfully manage and execute the outsource relationship. All other groups will report to this group either directly or indirectly.

-  Governance Group

This group is responsible for ensuring contract compliance, performance management, and issue resolution. This group should consist of senior members from organization and outsource vendor to manage the smooth execution of business processes.

Idea principal: Se debe tener una buena planificación de los procesos, y se deben realizar algunos cambios organizacionales para que se puedan desarrollar sin problemas los procesos de la empresa, y así alcanzar las metas de la misma.

En cualquier iniciativa de tercerización de procesos de una empresa, algunos procesos son tercerizados y otros son dejados dentro de la misma.  Si no se planean y ejecutan apropiadamente, la separación e integración de los procesos no van a poder desarrollarse sin problemas.  Primero debes hacer cambios organizacionales para mantener la relación de tercerización con los contratistas.  

La gerencia de alto nivel debe crear 4 grupos dentro de la organización para mantener sin problemas la relación con los contratistas. Al separar las responsabilidades de cada grupo y dirigirlos hacia los mismos objetivos, las organizaciones pueden alcanzar metas estratégicas como aumento en la eficiencia operacional, reducción en tiempo de mercado, entre otras.

BPO Success – Best Practices for Organizational Changes

There is a growing interest in outsourcing among businesses to outsource their business processes, started as a cost saving technique but now business process outsourcing is considered as a strategic initiative for companies to stay competitive in the global market. As the size and complexity of the outsourcing project grows, companies need to manage multiple outsource vendors, success of BPO depends on coordination between different vendors located in different countries and time-zones

Organizations must have an effective organizational structure and governance to maintain successful relationship with the outsource vendors. Having a well drafted outsource contract alone cannot help, it needs resources like training, change management, organizational restructure, governance body, etc to successfully mange the outsource vendor relationship. If the outsource vendor is located in offshore locations then the businesses need to consider issues like time-zone differences, cultural mismatch, etc, in managing the project teams. Only few organizations understand that the hardest work begins only after the outsource contract has been signed. Many organizations underestimate the complexities involved in executing and managing the outsource projects.

Drafted: v. “proyectado, diseñado” (de contenido)

Issues: n.(C) asuntos (de contenido)

Grows: v. “crecer” (de contenido)

IDEA PRINCIPAL: La tercerización es una estrategia usada por las empresas actualmente para permanecer competitivos en el mercado global.

Hay un creciente interés en la tercerización entre las compañías para subcontratar (tercerizar) sus procesos de negocios, que comenzó como una técnica para reducir costos, pero ahora la tercerización de los procesos del negocio es considerada como una iniciativa estratégica de las compañías para permanecer competitivos en el mercado global. A medida que crezca el tamaño y la complejidad del proyecto de tercerización, las compañías necesitan manejar múltiples contratistas, el éxito de BPO dependerá de la coordinación entre los diferentes proveedores localizados en diferentes países y zonas horarias.

Las organizaciones (empresas) deben tener una estructura organizacional y una gerencia efectiva para mantener una relación próspera con los contratistas. Tener solo un contrato de  tercerización bien proyectado no ayuda, se necesita recursos como entrenamiento, gestión de cambio, reestructuración organizacional, cuerpo gerencial, entre otras; para administrar exitosamente las relaciones con los contratistas.

Muchas organizaciones subestiman la complejidad que está envuelta en la ejecución y gestión de los proyectos de tercerización.
