Social responsibility Skills-based organisation A skills-based organisational structure is one that focuses on employees’ skills, knowledge and experience. Employees are assigned to tasks or projects based on their skills, regardless of the formal hierarchical structure. One example of skills-based organisation in action at Blum are our internal calls for employees to collaborate on multidisciplinary projects. In these cases, employees can apply to take on additional responsibilities alongside their primary job role provided that they have the requisite skills. Successful team members are selected purely on the basis of their skills. Skills-based organisational decisions can also be seen in everyday actions and individual initiatives, such as when an employee actively seeks out another colleague from within the company because they know that that person has the skills to assist in a particular area. Hierarchical organisation Skills-based organisation All three organisational structures are equally important for us as a business. Dynamic networks 74 © Copyright by Blum
