Getting the macro (vertical) organization right does not mean the cross-unit coordination processes will work effectively.

High Performance Work Systems
Each work unit should be designed for high performance if you want a high performance company. Mission focused, metrics driven, streamlined processes, and high commitment employees characterize the high performance work unit. It is typical to result in a 15-30% productivity improvement with HPWS. Sapience has over 20 years experience in HPWS design and implementation. [Note: if we’re going to include this, we need a pdf on it, and the current web site does not have one.]

Sapience has proven diagnostic and implementation tools to insure a high performance culture. Download a PDF brochure on this topic >
