Organisational Design

Building a system for clarity, performance, and growth

Organisational design ensures your structure supports where you're going not just where you’ve been.

As you grow, what once worked can start to hold you back. Clear roles, the right people in the right seats, and a structure built for growth create the conditions for teams to perform and leaders to lead. Designed for momentum.

A business wide approach to organisational design

Big picture first

We begin with where you’re headed: Your ambition, the company you want to build, and what it’ll take to get there. We then design the structure, leadership, and ways of working to match, all grounded in the reality of your business.

Sometimes that’s a project to map out the right structure and roles to support your next stage of growth. Other times, it’s hands-on work to lift leadership capability, align your team, and embed principles in action through working sessions and leadership charters.

Whether you want a full partner to help lead the change, or targeted support to get it moving, we flex to fit.

Services

Clarity Workshops

We create the space for you to step back and get clear on where you're heading. Through facilitated workshops and practical sessions, we help you and your team tackle the big questions, from defining your vision and values, to setting clear behaviours in action, aligning your leadership, or sharpening your strategy. Whether it’s a focused clarity session, a team offsite, or a full strategy day, we work with you to uncover what matters most and map out what’s next. Through practical workshops tailored to your stage of growth, we focus on the outcomes you need to drive your business forward with purpose.

Organisational Design

We help you design the structure your business needs to deliver on your vision and ambition. That includes assessing the team you have, understanding where the gaps are, and making sure the right people are in the right roles. We map out clear accountabilities, design practical operating rhythms, and work with you to build a structure that supports performance, clarity, and growth.

Team Effectiveness

Most leadership and team challenges come back to communication - how people work together, how they respond under pressure, and how well they understand each other. We help teams build trust, improve how they collaborate, and communicate in ways that actually land. Using tools like DiSC, we support your team to better understand themselves and each other, reduce friction, and make the most of different working styles. Whether it’s improving decision-making, strengthening relationships, or building leadership presence, we focus on what makes teams effective and help you put it into practice.

"I can endorse without question the skills, experience, insight, wisdom, and talent of the Sprout team. These professionals wrangled and nudged our 'culture crew' to define some outstanding people-made values that have inserted themselves so naturally in our business; providing the strong scaffolding of an aligned purpose-values-strategy that I know has already strengthened and clarified our business."

Richard Fraser
CEO, SMX

"Brilliant …a deep understanding of the here and now, but also a strong grasp on the future requirements of our businesses."

Aaron Jay
Founder and CEO, Hortus

"Sprout’s advice and guidance has significantly shaped our culture and future growth. They have shown us to look forward, and we use their advice and work daily. From the outset, their adaptability, speed and startup mentality set them apart, along with their honest, open, and trusted relationship."

  • What is organisational design?

    Organisational design is about aligning structure, roles, decision rights, and leadership capability with business strategy so the organisation can perform and scale.

  • How do I know that I need organisational design support?

    Common triggers include growth, restructuring, unclear accountability, leadership overload, or when the current structure is slowing execution.

  • How does Sprout People approach organisational design?

    Growth changes everything. We start by understanding where the business is at, what’s starting to break, and what’s coming next, then design structures that actually support the way work gets done.

  • Do you redesign whole organisations or specific areas?

    Both. We work at enterprise level or zoom into leadership teams, functions, or growth-critical areas.

  • How does organisational design connect to recruitment and leadership development?

    When organisational design is done well, people decisions stop being reactive. Leaders are clear on what needs to be owned, what capability is missing, and where leadership effort should be focused. Then recruitment and leadership development fills the gaps so you have the people you need for the next stage of growth. The organisation becomes easier to run, with better decisions, less friction, and more momentum.

  • What results can leaders expect?

    Clarity, accountability, faster decision-making, and leadership teams that operate with confidence.
