Organisational Restructuring Project Dashboard
This is a practical guide to building a project dashboard for an organisational restructuring project — a visual summary of the project’s key metrics and status, adapted to the realities of restructuring teams, roles or the operating model.
What a Project Dashboard is
A project dashboard is a visual summary of the project’s key metrics and status. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Project Dashboard. On an organisational restructuring project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for an Organisational Restructuring project
Organisational Restructuring projects live or die on restructuring teams, roles or the operating model. A well-built project dashboard gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how organisational restructuring projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Status indicators
- Schedule and cost KPIs
- Milestones
- Top risks/issues
Organisational Restructuring-specific considerations
Tailor the project dashboard to the risks that most often derail organisational restructuring projects:
- People and morale impact
- Consultation requirements
- Business continuity
Example
On a real organisational restructuring project, the project dashboard would be shaped by restructuring teams, roles or the operating model. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — people and morale impact, consultation requirements, business continuity — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
