Key Elements for Designing an Organization Structure (KE7- Approach)

7th April 2008

The building architects visualize a structure to realize a significant goal or set of objectives, and then give a shape to their vision which is accomplished by joint efforts of several participants like structural, civil, mechanical, electrical engineers and contractors. In the like manner successful business architects visualize an organization structure to accomplish commercial objectives. The difference between two analogies lies in, building structure is built by static inorganic materials but organization structure is built around dynamic components in the form of human resource, a continuous variable. This key difference makes the organization design exercise more challenging and complex. For the benefit of the business managers, some of the key considerations are illustrated here

Launch of Vista and Office 2007! Why and Who needs upgrade?

Vista Office 2007

When most of the users and organizations have just settled down with using Microsoft XP and Microsoft XP SP2, then comes the news of yet another upgrade of not only operating system (OS) but also the core business suite “Microsoft Office 2007”.

This launch is not only an upgrade of OS but entire hardware infrastructure of the organization. The immediate question which will strike most of the loyal users of Microsoft Office, why must I adopt new OS and “MS Office” when I have no problem with the current systems?

Demand for Energy Shall Keep Asian Shipyards Occupied for Next Five Years

The high level of volatility in oil prices to some extent can be attributed to geo-political events around the globe but this influence is limited to ripple effects only. The root cause lies in balancing demand and supply equation. The Offshore exploration fleet size has been stagnant since the last recorded peak production during early 1980’s.

Demand for New Offshore Rigs is more than US$20.6 billion in the short term

Demand for Jackups, Semi submersibles, SPAR, TLP’s and FPSO can be projected based on the oil fields currently undergoing development. While for special vessels like FPDSO, CNG, FSRU and FSU is based on specific project owner’s plans and announcements of such plans. In the short term from FY2007 to 2010, the offshore vessels to be ordered for delivery before or by 2010 are projected to be of value exceeding US$20.6 billion as a conservative estimate excluding projects not opened for tender yet. The estimate is based on around 50 fields under development or consideration for development before 2010, as confirmed in the news-media by stakeholders. On an average for a rig (Jackups or Semi submersible) it takes 12 – 18 months for delivery from the order date while for FPSO, SPAR and other specialized ultra deep fleet two years is the average delivery period.
