Duration: 3 minutes.
In this video, co-founder Nicolay Worren explains why we need better organization design methods, and how you can make use of Reconfig.
Duration: 2 minutes.
How should you organize your people? This is one of the most challenging decisions leaders face. Reconfig is a decision support tool. It helps you make better decisions – by providing you with the best possible data, visualization formats, and analytical methods through three steps.
Reconfig collects data from everyone in your organization or department. It then visualizes how your current organization works – who works with whom on what activities.
It’s like taking an X-ray of your organization.
Reconfig contains an algorithm that finds a better organization structure, given the way people actually work. It identifies people that need to work together and place them in the same unit.
You get the work done, with less coordination.
The new organizational structure will reduce required coordination and allow people to focus on their core tasks. This simplifies the interfaces between units and reduces organizational complexity.
The result is a more productive and effective organization.

An effective organization is one where there is alignment between work processes and organization structure. Reconfig is the only software solution that helps you map both by evaluating the degree of alignment and show you patterns of people that should be organized together to improve alignment. The result is an organization structure that is optimized for your core processes.
When you send Reconfigs standardized survey to your employees respondents will select who they work with and for each of them indicate the work processes that they collaborate on. This will provide you with a snapshot of how your organization really operates today.
The survey responses are gathered by Reconfig and visualized for you to analyze either as a matrix (left) or an interactive network diagram (right). Once you have a feel for how your organization operates today you can have Reconfig suggest improvements and new organization structures using the Reconfig algorithms.
In this video, co-founder and product manager Kim Soldal gives you an initial introduction to how you can use Reconfig.

There are two ways of engaging with us:
1. You work with us in your re-design process. In this case, we set up the survey, support you along the way and also analyze and interpret the results together with you. We then prepare detailed reports with multiple analyses and recommendations, participate in conference calls, and run workshops where we discuss the results and how you can use them to improve your organization.
2. You use the Reconfig software yourself. In this case, you set up your own survey and run your own analysis based on your current needs and goals. We provide technical support and training for your project team.
We are three Norwegians with a common interest in developing next generation organization design methods and tools.
We all have extensive management consulting experience with firms in multiple industries, so we know the kind of issues managers are facing.
We have very different backgrounds – but we belive this is a strength, since innovation comes from combining ideas from different fields – in our case; organizational theory, engineering, and computer science.
The first prototype of the tool was developed in 2016. Since then, we have been refining the methodology, which culminated in the founding of Reconfig in 2018. In 2019 we introduced the Reconfig cloud solution to the market and successfully applied it in multiple client projects.
