What is Org Topologies™?
Org Topologies™ is a visual thinking and communication tool that helps organizations analyze their current design and supports experimentation to better align strategy, goals, and structures.
The tool provides a common map to understand and improve how they structure their units—individuals, groups, teams, and potentially teams of teams. Additionally, it supports addressing the classic considerations of organizational design: direction, power structures, processes, motivation, reward mechanisms, and human skills and mindsets.
A new perspective on organizational design
Org Topologies™ is not a framework with predefined rules or solutions. Instead, it provides a systematic approach to analyzing organizational design, empowering businesses to make informed and targeted decisions tailored to their unique context.

How do we proceed in practice?
Before implementing Org Topologies™ in an organization, we ensure strong buy-in from leadership and key stakeholders. We believe that the right training is crucial. Then, we focus together on these four steps:
1. Mapping the situation:
We begin by observing, mapping, and analyzing the organization’s current systems and processes. This provides insight into how the business operates today and identifies existing challenges.
2. Define goals for improvement:
Next, we establish a clear and long-term goal to provide direction for the change process. This goal serves as a roadmap for the organization’s transformation.
3. Identifying gaps:
We assess the gap between the current state and the long-term improvement goal. This allows us to identify areas that require the most attention.
4. Performing experiments:
Based on our findings, we initiate small-scale experiments aligned with the long-term goal. This allows the organization to test and learn quickly while ensuring changes are consistent with the overall strategy.
It was incredibly valuable to have an external perspective that helped us uncover blind spots and gain new insights.
