OrgRefactoring – Consultancy Services Overview
Organizational Assessment & Diagnosis
- Lightweight Self-Assessment: OrgRefactoring provides a practical, non-intrusive assessment tool for organizations to identify structural misalignments and “bad smells” (e.g., unclear responsibilities, slow decision-making, overloaded teams).
- Holistic Scan: The assessment covers key alignment factors such as funding, product management, governance, architecture, tooling, and knowledge sharing.
- Expert Validation: After the self-assessment, an OrgRefactoring consultant reviews the results, validates findings, and helps interpret the signals for improvement[1].
Refactoring Planning & Roadmapping
- Tailored Refactoring Plan: Based on assessment outcomes, OrgRefactoring consultants help organizations select the most appropriate refactorings from the OrgRefactoring library (e.g., Extract Team, Move Team, Inline Architecture).
- Change Story Co-Creation: Consultants work with leadership and teams to craft a compelling change narrative, ensuring buy-in and clarity of purpose.
- Backlog Creation: Together, they define and prioritize transition activities, risks, and continuity checks[1].
Facilitated Implementation
- Lead Initial Refactorings: OrgRefactoring consultants guide the first cycles of organizational refactoring, ensuring changes are small, safe, and reversible.
- Metrics & Business Unit Tests: They help set up lightweight metrics (team velocity, customer satisfaction, team satisfaction) to track the impact of changes and ensure business continuity.
- Rollback Planning: Consultants ensure there are clear exit strategies and rollback plans for each change[1].
Enablement & Training
- Empowerment for Self-Service: A core service is enabling organizations to apply refactorings themselves. Consultants provide hands-on coaching, training, and access to the OrgRefactoring library.
- Capability Building: Through workshops and ongoing support, teams and leaders learn to recognize “bad smells,” select appropriate refactorings, and embed continuous improvement into their culture[1].
Integration with Existing Structures
- Governance Alignment: Refactorings are injected into existing improvement structures and governance processes, ensuring that successes and learnings are shared and that changes are tuned to the organization’s unique structure and culture.
- Continuous Feedback Loops: Consultants help organizations establish mechanisms for sharing outcomes, learning from experiments, and iterating on refactorings[1].
Ongoing Support & Advisory
- Case Studies & Best Practices: OrgRefactoring offers access to a library of patterns, case studies, and proven approaches, supporting organizations as they evolve.
- Introductory Calls & Custom Engagements: Organizations can schedule calls to explore challenges, discuss tailored solutions, and receive ongoing advisory support[1].
In summary:
OrgRefactoring offers a full spectrum of consultancy services—from initial diagnosis and planning, through hands-on implementation and enablement, to integration and ongoing support—all focused on small, safe, and value-driven organizational change[1].
