What is Organizational Analysis
Organization analysis is about examining, evaluating and understanding an organization’s structure, processes, functions, culture, and performance. It involves a comprehensive study to understand how the organization operates, how different parts interact, where there are gaps and how effectively it achieves its goals.
Whether it’s for a merger and acquisition, cost optimization exercise or workforce transformation, understanding your organization’s current state will be pivotal in making fast, informed decisions.
Orgvue was purposely built to visualize data in an incredibly powerful way. It empowers you to seamlessly bring together multiple datasets and build a baseline representation of your workforce, giving you the ability to draw robust and valuable insights, and enabling you to make informed decisions with confidence.
Analyzing your organization and managing data is not always easy
Analyzing a large organization based on data presents its fair share of challenges. In an era defined by constant change and transformation, the role of data in understanding an organization’s complexities cannot be overlooked. Yet, most organizations still struggle to bring data together from multiple platforms (for example HR systems, finance systems and spreadsheets) and make sense of it.
