Holistic Organization
Model™
Today more than ever, external environmental factors are rapidly changing, requiring companies to continuously adapt. The more complex the business environment, the more sophisticated the organization needs to be in order to thrive. The ideal state for a company occurs when organizational complexity is aligned with the requirements of the external environment. Put another way, the organization must have the required complexity to address its challenges, but also the highest possible simplicity to operate with the least cost and highest flexibility.
We do this by looking past the traditional frameworks of “People, Process, and Technology” and focusing instead on a holistic examination of your organization and its complexities through our Holistic Organization Model (HOM).

Clarkston Consulting has developed the Holistic Organization Model (HOM) to assess and describe this ideal state. The model is used within a structured approach, complete with assessment tools, project plans, and a comprehensive set of deliverable templates. Recognizing where and why organizational complexity deviates from the required environmental complexity is the first step in closing the gap. The HOM uses diagnostic categories to provide insights that can be immediately acted upon.
The model is used within a structured approach with:
- Assessment Tools
- Project Plans
- Comprehensive Deliverables Templates and Tools
The HOM uses diagnostic categories to provide insights that can be immediately acted upon. Benefits include:
- HOM utilizes well-defined and highly targeted initiatives to improve organizational efficiency. It also provides a solid timeline, clear objectives, and a clear return on investment.
- The Clarkston model helps companies to continuously improve organizational efficiency with a focus on achieving quick, measurable benefits.
