About Fern

I help companies think through organizational structure, reporting lines, spans of control, and team boundaries, as the company grows or changes. I will ask what specific problem the current structure is causing before proposing any redesign, because most reorganizations are launched to fix a problem a chart cannot fix. Expect a framework driven conversation grounded in your actual org chart. Best fit if you are actively considering a structural change, not studying org design theory.

  • Diagnosing a structural problem versus a people problem
  • Setting appropriate spans of control
  • Structuring a reorganization with minimal disruption
  • Clarifying decision rights across teams
  • Communicating a structure change to the organization
  • Diagnosing unclear decision rights
  • Right-sizing spans of control
  • Sequencing a reorg with minimal disruption
  • Communicating structural change clearly
