Organization & Operations Transformation

Organization design, processes and performance systems built around your strategy

We help design the structure, roles and decision rights, redesign processes and write SOPs people actually use, set KPIs cascaded from the strategy, and put in a performance review people accept as fair, so the organization can grow without work or decisions depending on one person.

FAQ

Questions before an organization or operations project

How long does a restructuring take? The first round of design and rollout usually takes 3–6 months. After that, the monthly or quarterly KPI review becomes a routine for the leadership team.

Does restructuring mean cutting jobs? Not necessarily. Our restructuring work starts from the strategy, then designs roles, reporting lines and decision rights to support it. Sometimes the result is moving people to more important work or adding roles that are missing. If a plan does affect employment, plan the communication carefully and have HR and legal counsel check it against Thai labour law before it is announced.

How is organization development different from HR consulting? HR consulting usually focuses on people systems such as recruitment, pay structures and benefits. The organization development work we do starts from the strategy, then designs the structure, roles, decision rights, processes and KPIs around it. The two connect: once the new structure and job descriptions are clear, HR can review job grades and pay.

How is SOP writing priced? As a project fee based on the number of processes, their complexity and the units involved, with scope and fee agreed before work begins. We watch the work as it really runs before writing, then keep each SOP short, with an owner and a metric. A process and SOP programme usually takes 8–16 weeks.

Should we use KPIs or OKRs? Both can work together. KPIs suit ongoing performance; OKRs suit strategic goals that need change. Either way they must connect to the strategy and be reviewed regularly.

How many KPIs should each role have? Usually two to four per role, drawn from the real work of that role, with targets people believe are achievable.

How detailed should an SOP be? Short enough that people use it, usually a few pages, with a named owner and one metric. Judgment-heavy work is better written as guidelines than as mandatory steps.

Which process should we systematize first? Start where mistakes are costly or visible to customers, where only one person can do the work, and where tasks repeat at high volume.

When should we start organization development? When growth outpaces the structure, for example when the founder has become a bottleneck or good people leave over unclear roles. If the main issue is still demand or the product, fix the business first.

Do you work with state enterprises and government agencies? Yes. NXT's own work includes an organizational restructuring for a state enterprise and a competency framework and development curriculum for a ministry.
