Introduction
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE), like most organisations, has to review the organisation structure and shape/size of roles on a regular basis to ensure that the organisation can deliver what it needs to most effectively meet the needs of members and the complex stakeholders with whom it engages.
How we worked together
Lesley has worked with RCPE for a number of years on areas of organisation structure and clarifying responsibilities and accountabilities of roles. Lesley also provides expert advice on job size and shape, engaging directly with line managers as required to ensure that there is shared clarity about the requirements of any role/team/structure. This has resulted in Lesley being involved in providing advice to design elements of restructures, and acting as a much valued ‘sounding board’
Results
Lesley has successfully provided support and advice to RCPE covering a range of aspects of job sizing, role responsibilities and accountabilities, and challenge to test thinking around responsibilities and accountabilities.
