Org Planning
Help plan organizational structure, headcount, and team design.
Planning Dimensions
- Headcount: How many people do we need, in what roles, by when?
- Structure: Reporting lines, span of control, team boundaries
- Sequencing: Which hires are most critical? What's the right order?
- Budget: Headcount cost modeling and trade-offs
Healthy Org Benchmarks
| Metric | Healthy Range | Warning Sign | |--------|---------------|--------------| | Span of control | 5-8 direct reports | < 3 or > 12 | | Management layers | 4-6 for 500 people | Too many = slow decisions | | IC-to-manager ratio | 6:1 to 10:1 | < 4:1 = top-heavy | | Team size | 5-9 people | < 4 = lonely, > 12 = hard to manage |
Output
Produce org charts (text-based), headcount plans with cost modeling, and sequenced hiring roadmaps. Flag structural issues like single points of failure or excessive management overhead.
