About Org Design

The org design industry is broken

When re-org's go badly, people are left with career-ending scars, maligned, mistreated, and misinformed. Most org design happens reactively, leading to poor org design.

Leaders just toggle between rapid layoffs and aggressive hiring sprees. Missing targets; executive conflict; haphazard hiring; unclear accountabilities and over-resourcing are the norm.

Institutional consulting is overdue for a shake-up

Org design has typically been the domain of institutional consulting firms, with reorganization projects that span months, if not years.

The results are often underwhelming. Outsourcing critical org design decisions don't work. Poor, out-of-date advice and trial and error prevail, resulting in misalignment and unintended pain.

Leaders want to plan their winning moves

As a leader, you know your org better than anyone else. Deep down, most leaders geek out about their organizational structure and want to get their hands dirty during the process.

At Functionly we are making org design accessible to all leaders. We believe everybody should be able to continuously improve the design of their organization.

Functionly is the future of org design

Org design can now be fluid and evolve organically. We don't just show who reports to who, but who does what; helping leaders see & fix the gaps, cracks, and overlaps in their org structures.

Functionly is where successful leaders proactively understand, design, and lead effective change in their organization.

Everyone has the right to a better workplace, and we help leaders create them. Here’s to the future of org design!
