Video- Director of a Start -Up GCM or ALCA Agency ? Do you Have a Job Description???

March 21, 2021

 

What is Organizational Design and Why Do GCM Start-Ups Need It?

If you are a solo practitioner with a start-up, hoping to grow your company and profit- do you need a job description. You actually need your own job description first and next all your key hires plus a flow chart before you even open. 

Organizational Design as the Framework that aging life or geriatric care management agency use for their new  business to:

  • Distinguish power and authority roles and
  • responsibilities
  • Show how information flows through the organization.
  • Be ready for future growth before a crisis

Three Basic Steps of Organizational Structure

1. First, you tackle organizational structure- -each job in your company

Organizational structure is a system used to define a hierarchy within an organization. It identifies each job, its function, and where it reports to within the organization. … The structure is illustrated using an organizational chart.

2. Second, select the design- GCM role- job description- authority

Once an organization has chosen its structure, you can move on to selecting the design. Organizational Design is the process by which managers assess the tasks, functions, and goals of the business, allowing them to make decisions about how to group people together to best and most efficiently achieve their objectives.

 

GCM job description, GCM directors role

In the start-up aging life or geriatric management business, you must explain the Care Manager’s director’s role, job description, and how their power and authority flows down to care managers when you hire them. It is also a critical tool to break off your overwhelming tasks as a solo practitioner. That way you and know what you will move to new hires when you are financially ready to add a new employee without slipshod job description in a cobbled in crisis.

Next, you cover with the care managers who report the director,  what are their roles, job descriptions, what you will delegate to them from your director’s job, and how they take direction from the Care Manager director, their supervisor. You should also add clinical supervision here. Then you design your Administrative Assistant’s role, bookkeeper, and the marketing director’s role if you are going to hire one.

3. Create a Flow Chart

Following that, a flow-chart or organizational chart with administration and roles mapped out.
