Welcome to Part 1 of the Build Better Series!
This session, Designing with Intention, is where we define your structure. Not just your org chart, but how decisions are made, how work flows, and how your people experience their roles.
There are (4) main goals of this session:
1. Define "Organizational Structure"
2. Understand key organizational structures and their impact.
3. Assess whether your structure supports or hinders your goals.
4. Lay the foundation to make intentional, values-aligned design choices.
Hosted by: Layla Anderson, Founder of People Partner Solutions
We will now focus on traditional organizational structures and their hierarchies.
Each structure has a different impact on communication, workflow, innovation and even culture.
This section focuses on the divisional structure. McDonalds, Samsung, and Walt Disney all follow the Divisional Structure.
Hosted by: Layla Anderson, Founder of People Partner Solutions
What happens when organizations span multiple locations or need people to report to more than one leader? We’ll dive into geographical and matrix structures—models built for complexity, but not without trade-offs.
Hosted by: Layla Anderson, Founder of People Partner Solutions
You’ve explored the building blocks of structure. Now it’s time to reflect: How does your organization’s current structure align—or misalign—with your mission and ways of working? You’ll leave with insights and next steps to guide your intentional design journey.
Please download the Org Self Assessment Tool and use it to guide your quarterly strategy.

For purpose-driven leaders ready to grow with clarity—not chaos.
Whether you're a founder, nonprofit director, HR manager, or an emerging team lead, Build Better is your go-to roadmap for strengthening the internal systems that support sustainable growth. Designed specifically for leaders in mission-driven organizations, this course demystifies what it takes to lead with intention—without the burnout or overwhelm that often comes with scaling impact.
Build Better focuses on four core areas that are essential to your organization’s long-term health and resilience:
Role Clarity – Eliminate confusion by clearly defining responsibilities, ownership, and decision-making authority
Team Culture – Turn your core values into everyday behaviors, systems, and shared leadership practices
Internal Communication – Build consistent, trust-centered communication rhythms that reduce friction and improve collaboration
Decision-Making Systems – Learn how to grow wisely by knowing what to automate, delegate, document, or centralize
Each session includes real-world tools, practical frameworks, reflection prompts, and optional next-step services to deepen the work within your organization. You’ll walk away with a renewed sense of direction, a toolkit for change, and the structure to sustain momentum.
Whether you’re building from scratch or recalibrating your foundation, Build Better helps you align people, purpose, and performance—with clarity, confidence, and heart.
Parts 1 & 2 are available now. Start building what’s next—with intention.
