— USE CASES

What people use Restructure scenario for

Comparing restructure options

Model two or three structures and see the coverage, cost and capability implications side by side.

Consultation preparation

Produce the evidence and rationale a formal consultation process will demand.

Impact assessment

Understand which capabilities and roles each option puts at risk before committing.

What it works from

  • Current org map, headcount and cost data
  • The restructure options or design principles
  • Decision criteria and constraints

What you get back

  • Option-by-option computed impact
  • Coverage and capability diffs against the current state
  • Scored options with the criteria recorded

— HOW IT BEHAVES

How Restructure scenario produces its result

The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.

Scored against your criteria

Each role is assessed against criteria you control and weight, so the same standard applies to every role in the organisation in scope.

Coverage across the organisation in scope, both directions

A coverage pass shows which roles are supported by evidence and which are not — including requirements with nothing behind them and material that supports nothing.

What actually changed

Two versions of the organisation in scope are compared directly, separating the roles that genuinely moved from the ones that only read differently.

Roles banded, not argued

Every role lands in a defined band, so thresholds you set decide the outcome instead of whoever is interpreting it that day.

Capability read from the evidence

Skills and requirements are read out of org data, role documentation and headcount exports as structured data rather than inferred from job titles.

Grounded in your own context

Your strategy, standards and prior work are loaded first, so conclusions about the organisation in scope are anchored to your situation.

Why this is expensive by hand

In organisation & workforce work, restructure scenario is one of those tasks that looks straightforward until you are three documents deep and the details stop agreeing with each other. In practice it shows up as comparing restructure options: model two or three structures and see the coverage, cost and capability implications side by side. The value sits in the rigour, not the typing — yet the rigour is exactly what gets traded away when there is only 3–4 weeks of capacity for it.

How this Skill produces it

Skillsize turns that work into a Skill: you supply the material, and what comes back is option-by-option computed impact, with coverage and capability diffs against the current state. What sits between input and output is the codified method: thresholds, sequencing and the points where a human confirms a call — all of it visible and editable in the Skill. The practical effect: 3–4 weeks of manual work becomes a ~40 minutes run, held to an identical standard on the tenth engagement as on the first.

Who it's for

  • Org design and workforce planning leads
  • COOs and functional leaders reshaping teams
  • Transformation consultants sizing people impact
  • HR business partners supporting redesign

Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere

Restructure scenario exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
