Organization design models for the planning and reporting function
Examples of planning and reporting delivery model options include:
-
Decentralized delivery model. Planning is done mainly at the sector, branch or regional level, by planning/ resource management advisors. A small corporate planning group provides strategic direction and supports planning at the corporate level.
-
Decentralized model with collaboration through planning network. Planning advisors report organizationally at the sector, branch or regional level; and collaborate through planning networks and committees. A small corporate planning group provides functional direction, coordinates planning and reporting processes at the organizational level, and prepares corporate plans/ reports.
-
Centralized distributed model. A corporate planning and reporting group is responsible for all planning activities; planning and reporting advisors report centrally but are dedicated to branches/ sectors/ regions and may be co-located with them. Alternatively, each planning advisor may support planning for a cluster of branches.
-
Centralized delivery model. A single planning and reporting group is responsible for all planning activities in the organization; and provides centralized planning support to sectors, branches and regions.
