Featured Projects

To capitalise on growth opportunities while managing risks associated with its existing business model, a major utilities organisation partnered with Bright People to explore alternative business ownership models for its growth ventures. This project aimed to build a robust case for change and define the pathway for implementing a new organisational design to support this different business ownership model.

Bright People was engaged to facilitate and co-design an organisational structure suitable for the new business ownership model. The solution encompassed the following components:

Organisational Design: Developed a comprehensive design for the new start-up organisation, including:

- Vision, Mission, and Purpose: Crafted a working draft to guide the organisation’s direction and objectives.
- Business Archetype and Model: Defined the business archetype and model to align with growth ambitions.
- Critical Capabilities: Identified essential capabilities needed for success.
- Resourcing and Reward Approach: Established strategies for resourcing and employee rewards.
- Core Roles and Responsibilities: Defined key organisational roles and responsibilities.
- Governance Structures and Decision-Making Framework: Designed governance structures and a decision-making framework to ensure effective management and agility.
- Culture Definition and Activation: Developed a cultural framework to support alignment and cohesion.

The project achieved several key outcomes:

- Optimal Operating Model: Provided clarity on the most suitable operating model to support the Board’s decision-making process.
- Blueprint for Implementation: Delivered a detailed blueprint for the design and establishment of the new organisation, facilitating a smooth transition and ensuring alignment with growth objectives.

Bright People’s efforts enabled the organisation to confidently move forward with its new business ownership model, laying a solid foundation for future growth and success.
