Whether the company is establish or new, the way it is
organized is critical to its success. Organization
includes processes, positions and people.
From NetMark's perspective, people
are intentionally addressed after processes and
positions.
Every company needs to identify the actual jobs that
must be managed by the people in those jobs, as well as
the processes within the jobs and then the interactions
between the various positions. By doing so, it can
then determine the skill set needed for any particular
job. Individuals can then be hired based on their
skill sets.
Trite as it sounds, an organization chart is vital to
determining positions and process. Even if you
have been in business for years, you need to take a
dispassionate view of the organization to determine if
you have your processes flowing smoothly with sufficient
positions and then look at people to decide if you have
the right skills and personalities where you need them
(not necessarily where they have been for decades).
What is a sure sign you have it wrong? When the
answer is, "That's the way we have always done it."
