PHASE 9: ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN & TALENT
Determine the right roles, number of headcount, and organizational chart required to make your number.
Quantitatively determine the right amount of headcount to hit your revenue target for the year. Within that headcount, design your roles to meet your revenue and cost targets. Ensure role clarity exists to maximize production.
