Avantages

I’ve never worked with a finer group of individuals, both early and late in their career. Despite the layoffs and other flaws that are described below, camaraderie is still strong within the lower levels.

Inconvénients

Since implementing Business Operating Model last year, our company has become less efficient and morale has plummeted across the board. Why is that? 1) Roles and responsibilities changed, which resulted in more bureaucracy and more decisions made at the upper levels. 2) Titles changed, and now a person’s title no longer accurately describes what he/she does day to day. 3) Meetings, meetings, meetings. The new... standardized business routines were supposed to reduce the number of meetings on our calendars, but instead it had the opposite effect. 4) Outsourcing and layoffs. Each year, dozens of jobs are being outsourced to India. Layoffs are becoming an annual event. This is all occurring at the lower levels of the company, which is just lovely. 5) Management layers increased. The average non-manager employee has at least two VPs, 1-2 directors, and 1-2 managers between them and the CEO. For example, an analyst may report to a supervisor, who reports to a manager, who reports to a director, who reports to a senior director, who reports to a VP/GM, who reports to an EVP, who reports to the CEO. The excess layers of management only add to the problem. 6) Process, process, process. We have become so process focused that the simplest of tasks are overly burdensome. Our innovation portfolio management (stage-gate) is a prime example. 7) Salary grades for certain positions were lowered, effectively demoting the position. Imagine you worked years to earn a promotion, and one day the company decides to lower the responsibilities and allow entry level employees into the same job. I could go on and on...

Conseils à la direction

Stop touting Business Operating Model as a success. Seriously, look around. Never before has there been broader consensus at all levels of the company (other than the EVPs) that this reorg was a disaster. VPs and directors openly criticize BOM, calling it “bomb,” or (sarcastically) “the bomb,” or quipping, “our company is bombed.” Brad, it’s not too late to shut it down. Yes, shut it down. Admit that it didn’t... produce the results it was intended to and go back to the drawing board. Get a new set of eyes (preferably not outside consultants) to re-evaluate things. Interview stakeholders at all levels. Get buy-in, not just compliance. You might be pleasantly surprised by how open and willing your workforce is to adopting changes if they feel like they’re part of the solution.
