Organizational architecture determines how the different parts of an organization work together as one coherent system. It connects direction, people, responsibilities, processes, information, risk and decision-making so that organizational performance does not depend primarily on individual knowledge or intervention.
Strong organizational architecture creates clarity, coherence and accountability. It makes explicit how the organization is intended to work, who is responsible for what and how essential connections between different parts of the organization are maintained.
Within ICR, organizational architecture forms the foundation of the Organizational Operating System. By making the organization explicit and connecting ambition, strategy, execution and control, ICR helps organizations become more predictable, scalable and less dependent on individual people.
