The structure of your business will act as the backbone and support concerning decision making and other processes. Deciding early what type of organizational system you want to implement will help to ease the stress of the initial start-up. If each person in the organization knows what he or she is supposed to be doing, there is less room for confusion and poor judgment. Perhaps setting up a management team would work the best for your organization, or perhaps a hierarchy of decision makers would work better. Either way, setting up a definite structure before important shots are called makes a difference.
The first step is determining what type of organizational structure you would like to design and implement. Some examples of structures would be, functional and hierarchical. Next, you should develop a strategy to start organizing your business, company, or group. How do you want it to run? From the top down, or by a matrix of different people, such as a management department is a big decision. Once you have a few options picked out, you can decide which option will be optimal to produce the results you desire.
A new business or determined entrepreneur lacks the structure and development to succeed at first. Typically in a small business start-up the team lacks a set standard in structure that will actually work for them. The standards are yet to be set in place and in turn end up hurting company growth, progress and even revenue. However, most new startups all go through this phase because there isn't a set standard in design for every company. So that being said most companies have different types of organizational structure. Sometimes it takes weeks, months, and even years to get a structural plan in place that works best for a company.
A new business owner will call all the shots and make all the decisions, so it's somewhat impossible to think about proper organizational structure until a company has reached a certain point in revenue, employees, and business. Before any business can proceed from a start up, it must have the one boss calling all the shots, and in most cases would be the CEO or co-founders. All the decisions and support come straight from the top in one centralized region of the company. The founder or co-founders take all the serious matters and address them appropriately until the company can grow enough to have people put into place to achieve this for them. When they can a proper hierarchy can put set in place.
