What we do ยท Understand your organisation

Organisational Discovery & Design

Discover how your organisation really works, where value is lost and what needs to change.

Discuss a discovery

What problem can you solve for me?

Nobody can show how the organisation actually works.

  • Decisions were made and never recorded, so nobody can say why things are as they are.
  • It is unclear who may decide, approve or act, and people work around the gap.
  • Knowledge leaves when people do.
  • Change is planned against an organisation chart, not against the work.

What will I receive?

You can see your organisation as it works: its jobs, who decides, and what a change would move.

  • Findings you can check: each decision, authority and gap, with where it came from.
  • A model of the organisation's jobs, work and dependencies.
  • A recommended redesign, and what it would move.

Why should I believe DTA can deliver it?

Interactive model

The organisational model of a bank

What it shows. How an organisation's jobs, work and accountability can be seen as one model.

What to do there. Select any element and switch between its views: what customers need, the work that creates, and who performs it.

More you can check

How the work runs

  • Investigates one bounded part of the organisation from the evidence it already has: documents, systems and the people who do the work.
  • Recovers the decisions, authorities, dependencies and value behind that work, each traced to its source.
  • Builds a connected model of the jobs, the work and who performs it.
  • Designs the change with its consequences in view, before anyone commits to it.

MTDR provides an open way to record organisational decisions and their supporting context. DTA's discovery approach uses it to make that knowledge visible, connected and usable.

You can engage this today

  • A consulting engagement that uses DTA's organisational discovery approach and its open foundations.
  • A four-week discovery is one way to start. It is an option, not a fixed product.
  • The open way of recording decisions is published and free to use.

Still developing

  • Tooling that supports discovery across a whole organisation is being developed. It is not offered today.

How an engagement starts

A four-week discovery

One part of the organisation, investigated and reported in four weeks. One option among others.
