ZERO-BASED ORGANIZATION – An approach to swift organization redesign in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous world (VUCA)
Companies face events or changes in their environment that require to quickly adapt their organization, whether it is:
Market evolutions such as a strong reduction or ramp up of activities, the adaptation to new stakes,COVID
Drop in team efficiency due to new management, important staff turnover, critical size reached or not reached yet
Integration of new constraints including the evolution of regulations, digitalization or a new company strategy
Evolution of footprint
These changes trigger a transformation of the current organization to avoid a performance drop. However, when these challenges are particularly sudden or with a magnitude that can dramatically alter the company’s performance, it requires a disruptive approach.
Guided by the same principles as Zero-Based Budgeting, the Zero-Based Organization (ZBO) methodology enables to address this transformation in a structured way.
