Organizations are frequently faced with challenges in aligning their operational structure with their strategic objectives. This discrepancy may arise from a lack of intentional design in their evolution.

Additionally, recent acquisitions or divestitures could necessitate organizational realignment.
The rapid evolution of the business landscape in response to digital transformation, climate change, sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as the shift towards hybrid work models and other post-pandemic developments, is necessitating a reevaluation of organizational structures.
