Do All Companies Need To Consider Organisational Design Prior To A Pricing Project?
Taylor Wells has seen from experience that many projects fail simply due to how the team and function is set up.
Every organisation is in a different phase of pricing maturity – especially now as businesses rebuild post-COVID. Some are in survival mode, freeing up cash flow by cutting costs and optimising prices; some are planning to reshape their entire portfolio to align to new customer needs. And others have disruption on their minds, creating new revenue pricing models, architecture and price setting processes to capitalise on a new operating model. Regardless of where a business is though, every company will have to make substantial steps to improve pricing in order to manage risk and return to healthy levels of performance.
Business processes, organisation design, talent management, culture, and so much more will have to adapt and change in order to accelerate the ROI from pricing post-COVID.
