Guidance Notes
Organisations should have a clear view on how they delegate their Purpose down to the Teams and sub-Organisations within them
This organisation model should:
- Ensure the Organisation’s Purpose and Measures of Success are decomposed such that they are effectively and efficiently delivered by the Purposes and Measures of Success of the Teams and sub-Organisations within it
- Ensure any outsourcing is done through a suitable commercial contract aligned to these guidance notes (ie. built around a Purpose and Measures of Success, delivery of Objectives, performance measures, and with the ability to flex Budget and Headcount).
- Evolve over time to ensure that it continues to be the optimal decomposition for delivering the Organisation’s Purpose
