Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to your situation: some led a central organization design team across a whole group, while others focused on one business unit, function or region. Also ask how closely they worked with HR versus business leaders, since that shapes how a redesign gets decided and carried out.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you decide when a redesign was needed and what problem it had to solve?
- 02What principles and data did you use to choose between structure options, such as spans of control and reporting lines?
- 03How did you sequence an organization redesign so the business kept running during the change?
Reaching organizational design experts
How can I contact one of these organizational design experts?
Pick one of the 10 people on this page and choose "Book a paid call", or describe your project to find others. You offer a fee for a 15-minute call or a written answer, Instant Expert finds the person's work email and sends the invitation, and they decide whether to accept. The list covers 10 companies, including BIOTRONIK, Imperial Brands PLC and BT Group, based on profile data retrieved on October 3, 2026. Being listed here doesn't mean someone has agreed to take calls.
How much does it cost to reach organizational design experts?
You choose the offer, starting at $5 per person. It includes Instant Expert's 20% fee, so an offer that pays the person $100 costs you $125. You're charged only when the person books the call or sends the answer.
What if they don't reply?
You pay nothing. Instant Expert sends follow-up reminders, and if the person hasn't booked or answered within 7 days, the request expires and any hold on your card is released. You can invite several of the 10 people on this list at once and cap your total spend, so you pay only for the ones who accept.
