Experience the tradeoffs of span of control and hierarchy
Your Series B startup has just 12 people with a flat structure. Scale to 80+ while building proper management layers. Sales is critically understaffed!
A bloated manufacturing division with 6 hierarchy levels and too many managers. Cut layers, reduce headcount to ~70, while maintaining quality and avoiding strikes.
Two consulting firms are merging: Apex Partners (🔵) and Summit Advisory (🟠). You inherit DUPLICATE leadership for each practice area. Decide who stays, who goes, or how to restructure.
Your e-commerce company has 3 regional GMs (Americas, EMEA, APAC) each with their own Sales and Operations teams. The structure may be too heavy - lots of management overhead. Optimize the org while maintaining regional presence.
