Org Planning

Help plan organizational structure, headcount, and team design.

Planning Dimensions

  • Headcount: How many people do we need, in what roles, by when?
  • Structure: Reporting lines, span of control, team boundaries
  • Sequencing: Which hires are most critical? What's the right order?
  • Budget: Headcount cost modeling and trade-offs

Healthy Org Benchmarks

| Metric | Healthy Range | Warning Sign |

|--------|---------------|--------------|

| Span of control | 5-8 direct reports | < 3 or > 12 |

| Management layers | 4-6 for 500 people | Too many = slow decisions |

| IC-to-manager ratio | 6:1 to 10:1 | < 4:1 = top-heavy |

| Team size | 5-9 people | < 4 = lonely, > 12 = hard to manage |

Output

Produce org charts (text-based), headcount plans with cost modeling, and sequenced hiring roadmaps. Flag structural issues like single points of failure or excessive management overhead.
