Your business challenge

In the face of major market and competitive disruptions, companies are putting in place new organisational models to drive a combination of agility, growth and efficiency. They need to adapt workforces to address opportunities presented by both transformation and M&A. In doing so, they need to address urgent and widening capability gaps in a challenging talent market to remain competitive.

Solution benefits

Organisation and Workforce Transformation builds workforce capabilities needed to realise your business strategy by helping implement innovative organisational models. These models deliver the workforce needed today and in the future, by including:

Organisational models that are aligned to strategic goals, supporting workforces that are lean, innovative, agile and customer-focused
Leading-class organisational models that balance the workforce and technology at the enterprise and functional level, with efficient, lean workforces that are right-sized for strategy and will adapt in line with future change
Workforces that are benchmarked against the leading in the market and have the capabilities to compete and evolve

Solution features and functionality

It can be difficult to stay on top of current workforce needs, let alone figure out future needs. Our workforce strategy, planning and analytics solution helps you plan for workforce demand and supply, define the capabilities and structures needed, and include the acquisition, upskilling and reskilling to populate roles. Our capabilities are data- and technology-enabled to drive decision-making.

Analyse, model, plan, help implement and track benefits from end to end in a service powered by a proprietary data and technology platform through our EY Organisation and Talent Hub
Thoroughly assess your current organisation and workforce composition, comparing against leading practice for individual functions and roles
Model scenarios based on different parameters to examine the implications of future strategies and operating models
Create a transition road map and prioritise what needs to happen between now and then to achieve your objectives
Track service delivery of the transition and realisation of synergy or transformational benefits

Plan and help implement an organisational and workforce transformation through a single integrated service that incorporates workforce planning, design, talent management and organisational alignment. This includes:

Strategic workforce planning: Identify gaps and develop skills and capabilities in the workforce to best meet business and customer needs and to confirm the right number of people with the right skills are deployed in the right place at the right time.
Work enablement: Improve productivity by providing the optimal infrastructure, technology, process and resources to the workforce, putting humans at center and helping enable technology at speed.
Transition planning: Select which individuals will fill which roles in the organisation structure and plan the transition so that resources are developed and deployed in the most effective and efficient manner.
Network alignment: Align formal structures and reporting lines with existing proven, productive organisational networks (organisational network analysis).
Learning and development: Using EYSpotMentor, an automated intelligence-based platform, identify the health index of a company’s skill inventory and automate workforce upskilling and reskilling.
When companies make a workforce change, they can spend weeks trying to envision different scenarios. Our data-driven approach helps accelerate decision-making, planning, design and implementation of operational and organisational models needed to deliver on transformation and M&A strategy, modelling real-time, business and related workforce scenarios, and planning the transition and track benefits. This includes:

Operating model and organisation design: Review the operating model, including people, technology, process and data and structure to improve the organisation’s ability to deliver a greater value at lower cost.
Use insights, benchmarks and design principles to redesign the organisation. Plan the implementation support and track realisation of the new organisational model, with associated benefits.
EY Organisation and Talent Hub: Intelligent, cloud-based technology platform pulls current organisational, employee and total rewards data on a regular basis to facilitate organisation design and planning. It leverages proprietary algorithms to understand the current workforce and translate forward-looking scenarios into resources needed to deliver on the business strategy. It starts and ends with understanding capacity, capability, composition and cost associated with your workforce. It further helps you to:
Develop drag-and-drop visualisations, and support various analyses and detailed cost projection scenarios
Model different future state organisation and workforce scenarios across customisable parameters, including organisational structure, job family, roles or individual employees
Identify potential cost and operating model alternatives to create detailed plans aligned to your financial parameters and objectives
A longer-term transformation requires development of new skill sets; it can be costly and damaging to morale to lay people off and replace them with new hires. It is beneficial to use scientifically validated intervention techniques to build capabilities, skills and behaviors and reach your strategic goals. With our workforce agility solution, you can:

Develop and deploy resources in the most effective and efficient manner by connecting succession and transition planning into the future organisation design.
Use benchmark and AI-driven insights to identify future skills, assess your current workforce against those needs, and plan workforce skills development both at scale and at the individual level.
Improve productivity by providing the optimal infrastructure, technology, process and resources to the workforce at the right time.
Motivate the workforce to deliver focused outcomes in the most efficient way; enhance your employer brand and employee morale.
Deliver effective, human-centric organisational change, powered by advanced analytics in EY Change Insights, providing rich insights into the impacted workforce to help enable sustainable adoption of the change.
