See how Organimi helped boost efficiency and time management for this non profit:

Overview

The non profit focuses on coordinating the delivery of high-quality, culturally sensitive health care and playing a leadership role in developing First Nations health policy.

With the region’s largest hospital and several hundred employees spread over several communities, the team continually updates its org charts and posts them on its internal and external websites.

Business Challenge

With a growing, geographically dispersed team, the health authority needed org charts that were easy to create, update, and share. Most users found the existing SharePoint solution challenging to edit and confusing to use. The authority’s communications team also wanted to share org charts on its external site, and the SharePoint charts were not intuitive to navigate.

“We wanted to make our org charts easy, not just for our employees, but for the general public,” says the authority’s communications officer. “With SharePoint, it felt like we were doing it all by hand.”

Solution

When the communications officer began using Organimi’s latest release, Version 7.0, he immediately found it easier to use than the existing SharePoint solution. Organimi also addressed another primary concern — ease of use for employees and external stakeholders. “It had to look good and be simple to use for people visiting our site,” the communications officer says. “With a simple click and scroll, Version 7.0 lets you see how the organization is laid out and who works for whom.”

“We also love the color-coding features,” he continues. “For example, we can identify managers in red, admin staff in yellow, and executives in green. It creates a simple yet powerful visualization of our organization.”

He also appreciates Organimi’s automatic updating capabilities. “If you update the website, it updates everything else,” he says. “The ability to add additional information — like titles and email addresses — also makes it easier to identify and contact the right people on the team.”

Benefits

Organimi has proven a popular tool with the management team. “Many of our managers want to create their own departmental charts,” explains the communications officer. “Because Organimi is so easy to use, I’m confident recommending it to our department heads. Many of them are creating and sharing their departmental charts to facilitate planning and improve collaboration. And, for everyone, that same ease of use is reducing the time and effort required to create and maintain the org charts.”

Organimi’s color-coding options and the ability to add custom data are also paying big dividends to the organization. “Before, our org charts just felt like words on a page,” says the communications officer. “Now they’re easy to follow and provide a lot of clear information, both for our internal users and the general public.”

He’s also excited about exploring other ways he and his team can leverage the power of Organimi’s Version 7.0. These include adding photos to profiles, using enhanced ‘drag and drop’ capabilities, and customizing printing options. “Moving to Organimi has made a big difference for our organization,” he says.
