Organizational Structure


If you’re a CEO whose chief communications officer (CCO) recently left your company or perhaps a new CCO wanting to put in place the best communications organization possible, we can help. We’ve worked in many environments and with our expertise have developed two tools, the Organizational Assessment Guide and the First 100 Days, that look at such critical issues as alignment of communications needs with business strategy; inventory of needs vs. staff size and productivity requirements; functions that should be centralized vs. decentralized; global integration of the communications function; talent assessment; cultural barriers to success; and industry best practices.

Most importantly, we provide crisp, clear thinking that helps management make sound long-term business decisions.

For VC firms backing a new enterprise, we offer a Structuring the Function expertise that places a keen eye on the need to be lean while quickly making possible the company’s ability to build its brand and earn a compelling, differentiated position in the marketplace. The process includes assessing the business plan, analyzing the competitive landscape and offering recommendations on the optimal internal structure. As requested, Feldman & Partners can work with search firms to find the right communications leadership and, as needed, identify strong agency candidates.

And for private equity groups, we adapt our proprietary tools to participate in due diligence; identify ways to streamline the communications function to reduce costs; and, after several years, help identify ways to ramp up communications as the organization prepares for an IPO or other event.
