Restructuring is one of the levers that companies use to innovate and change the course of action to improve results. By changing structure, companies change the way to operate and develop new business models that allow them to remain competitive at capturing, creating and delivering value.During times of economic downturn, many companies fail at executing its strategy and engage in restructuring and downsizing processes. In many cases they have limited leeway and can not consider other forms of innovation and change such as the adoption of breakthrough technologies that often would entail higher risks and require long term investments. They have to adopt straight measures aimed to increase productivity.
None less, structure innovation is not free risk and sometimes companies may find them selves, after long periods of hard work, at the place where they started. To avoid that, companies have to make sure that reinforce structural change with a sound organizational change program.
