HR Function Design & Organisation Architecture

The business is growing. The systems it runs on are not keeping up. HR processes that worked at ₦200M break at ₦2B. Org structures that made sense at 50 people collapse at 200. We rebuild what the business stands on.

The Problems We Solve

When the business
has outgrown its systems.

Fix the Foundation is for organisations where growth has exposed the limits of how the business is structured and how HR operates inside it.

The HR function gap
HR that processes paperwork instead of driving performance.
An HR function built for administration rather than performance management. The business has grown past what it can support. We redesign the function for the business it needs to serve.
The structure problem
An org chart that reflects history, not strategy.
The reporting lines, the spans of control, the team structures — they were drawn when the business was a third of its current size. They are now a constraint on what the business can do.
The continuity gap
The business cannot absorb a shock.
FX shocks, infrastructure failures, sudden leadership changes. Most organisations have a continuity plan document. Very few have the actual capacity to keep performing when things break. The MRS™ measures this.
The process drag
Processes that slow the business down.
Approval chains that stop decisions. HR processes that take weeks. Internal friction that costs more than external competition. A systematic audit finds and removes it.
What We Deliver

Services inside
Fix the Foundation.

Every service is built on the ORR™ or OER™. The diagnostic determines what the business actually needs — not what it thinks it needs.

HR Function Design & Build
Design and build an HR function that operates as a performance driver, not an administration centre.
HR Administration Outsourcing
For organisations that need the administrative work handled while the HR function is being rebuilt or upgraded.
Organisation Design & Restructuring
Reporting lines, spans of control, and team structures rebuilt for the strategy you are actually executing — not the one you wrote three years ago.
Process Efficiency Audit
A systematic review of internal processes. Every friction point identified, costed, and removed or rebuilt.
Business Continuity Execution
Not a plan document. The actual capacity to keep performing when things break — built into the structure of the organisation.
Public Sector Performance Track
Available through INDYMAND's SMEDAN and institutional partnerships. Diagnostic-led performance improvement for public sector organisations.
How It Works

Rebuild for the
business you are becoming.

The most common mistake in HR redesign is building for the current size of the business. We build for the business at the next stage — which means the system does not need rebuilding again in two years.

The ORR™ and OER™ give us a precise picture of where the current structure is failing, what it is costing, and what the rebuilt version needs to be able to do.

1
Assess the current state
ORR™ or OER™ deployed across the function or organisation. This tells us what is broken, what is inefficient, and what the structure cannot support.
2
Map the required state
What does the business need the function or structure to be able to do at the next stage of growth? The design is built against that specification.
3
Build and embed
The new structure, the new processes, the new accountabilities. Built inside the business, not handed over in a document.
4
Verify it holds
We do not leave until the new system is operating under real conditions — and the people running it can sustain it without us.
