THE ARISTA ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM

Integrating Projects & People

Arista is an organizational design, project management and HR consultancy service. Together, we look at your team, your needs and challenges. Then, we formulate a structure and a project system that will allow you to grow and achieve your vision. Everything is harmonized: recruitment, training, reporting lines, projects and governance.

It's a new way of building organizations: based on projects and people.

An Outdated System

Why traditional structures no longer work

Most organizations face similar issues. Despite all the tools and systems available, efficiency and smooth workflows are elusive.

In the best of cases, we lose time and money. Left unchecked, it gets even worse: dysfunction spreads and workplace culture deteriorates.

This is what brings down companies.

These problems are systemic because we are using the same function-based organizational models that were designed over one century ago.

To optimize our team's potential, we must change the way we build teams.

How do we go about this? The answer lies within project management and human resources.

If you are a growing firm or need to recalibrate your team, you need a joint project and people strategy.

A New Way of Working

Based on projects and people

3 Problems

2 Elements

1 Solution

To reduce transfer points, three problems need to be addressed:

  • The organizational structure

  • Unintentional incentives

  • The project system

With the Arista System, organizational design considers culture and structure as being interlinked.

This allows us to break free from rigid and ineffective ways of working.

We are still building rigid silo organizations and sowing the seeds of inefficiency.

Instead, we should build teams that can be adjusted based on evolving needs and designed to weather storms.

The key is to reduce the transfer points: the spaces between people/roles - where information and responsibility go from one person to another.

It comes down to a simple principle: more people in a process or project leads to more gaps and, eventually, more errors.

The key is to bring project and people management under one group.

This is suitable for firms in early growth or reset phases.
