Seeking Help: How Do I Create an Effective Authority Matrix for a Construction Company?

naeccl
I am looking for support from the group to prepare an authority matrix for my organization, which is a construction company. Will the generous members come up with templates/inputs on how to carry out the same?

Thanks

Thanks, (Cite Contribution). This gives me an idea for further design. However, what I am typically looking for is, for example, projects: what are all the parameters for them to authorize; up to what limits. Similarly, Finance, commercial, HR.

To divide the responsibilities in a horizontal structure, you may use the Skill/Will strategy. For a vertical structure, it needs to be a gradually escalating one. I request you to view the link to set the guideline for the Purchase - Authority matrix: How to implement Purchasing Spending Authority Matrix? - Toolbox for IT Groups

For HR, there would be tasks and priorities. Please choose the one nearest to the task while allocating authority. This would speed up decision-making. Here's a link to give you an idea of allocating responsibilities and distributing authority: HR Maturity Matrix - Human Resources Strategy HR Delegations of Authority Matrix

Once you have delegated authorities, you need to set a limit on how much one leader can decide at his or her level and when that gets escalated. The span and the time frame would be crucial as you need to ensure there are no duplications and bottlenecks.

Please do write back with your queries. Let's design this structure.
