Organizational changes
GRANDIT comes with standard features for organizational changes, so that companies can adapt to changes in their business. It offers the following.
- Organization charts are managed as history, and past data is displayed with the past organizational information.
- When the organization changes, slips with outstanding balances are transferred from the old unit to the new unit.
History management of organization charts
GRANDIT manages organization charts as history so that it can flexibly handle mergers and splits of units. When the organization changes, you copy the old organization and edit only the changed parts of the new chart in a tree format.
Balance transfers during organizational changes
When a department disappears because of an organizational change, slips with outstanding balances must be transferred to another department. Correcting slips one by one is a lot of work, so GRANDIT provides a feature to process them in bulk.
- Renaming or merging: just register the new department, and the system transfers everything automatically in bulk.
- Splitting: specify conditions to transfer in bulk. For complex cases, slips can also be transferred one at a time.
Types of organizational changes
It is generally said that organizational changes in any company fall into five patterns.
- The unit stays the same and only its name changes (renaming).
- Two or more units merge into one (merging, many to one).
- One unit is split into several (splitting, one to many).
- A new unit is created (new).
- An existing unit is closed (closing).
In GRANDIT, new and closed units must be handled manually, but renaming, merging, and splitting can be transferred automatically in bulk in the system.
History management of the organization
Because organizational information in GRANDIT is managed as history, past management reports from GRANDIT are output with the past organizational structure. If you want to output past data in the current organizational structure, you can use a BI tool.
Example: organizational information as of April 1, 2018, then as of April 1, 2019, then as of April 1, 2020
In this way, GRANDIT lets you carry out organizational changes, which are directly tied to a company's core business, seamlessly. This makes organizational changes easier and supports running an organization that keeps up with today's changing business environment.
