The Purpose of any great organization is the foundation upon which its strategic pillars are built . The deployment of resources should also aim at ultimately achieving the purpose for which the organization was set up.
In today’s changing world where resources are rapidly getting depleted and where technology has redefined how business is run, there is only one resource that has remained constant, the Human resource.
In an environment where there are similar products and where the consumer dictates the market trends, competition has been redefined and the route to market reengineered. The people resource however has not gone through this drastic evolution but must still cope with this new dynamic environment. It is therefore critical that organizations continue to invest in its people as the only remaining competitive advantage .
Serian Consulting Limited ( SCL )was established in 2018 and aims at partnering with organizations in the critical areas of Strategic Human Capital management to enable the alignment of the HR function to the organization strategy and to ultimately achieve the purpose of the organization, which can only done through and by people . At SCL we recognize that employees are first people and then employees and this remains a core principle in our approach to engaging with organizations as they seek to deliver on their objectives through people.

Organization Design and Restructuring
As organizations plan their strategies, internal and external factors impact their very design. The process involved here identifies aspects of work that no longer align to the goals and realities of the organization given changes that it could be going through . Aspects of work include structures, work flows or processes and systems. This is one area that organizations do not deal with unless faced by major threats to their existence . This however should not be the case as all areas in the organization need to be continually aligned in order to effectively drive strategy .

The workplace culture determines how the organization delivers, it also determines its “pulse” . The wrong culture can derail all the best efforts and strategies that an organization can put in place. Change is said to be the only constant.
