The Economist Guide To Organisation Design by Claire Stanford

A practical, step-by-step guide to designing organisations that align structure, processes, people and governance with strategy, covering common structural models (functional, divisional, matrix and network), decision rights, roles and accountabilities, incentives and metrics. It explains how to diagnose organisational problems, balance trade-offs between efficiency and agility, redesign reporting lines and job descriptions, and create governance and performance measures, while addressing the human side of change—leadership, culture, talent and implementation plans—to help organisations move from design to sustainable operation.
