We divided our approach into two tracks. In the first track, we explored, detailed and evaluated criteria and scenarios for the new organisational structure with the core team. In the second, parallel track, we involved a larger group of department staff and had them give input and feedback on the new organisational structure.

We contributed to a new organisational design, consisting of two departments with their own structure. The Area Development department is structured into multidisciplinary regional teams, such as Rotterdam, Groningen and Eindhoven, to strengthen Sweco's connection with local clients. This department focuses primarily on transforming areas and sites from function A to function B, involving disciplines such as area planning, design and project and process management.

The other department, Nature & Climate, consists of multidisciplinary, nationwide theme teams. These teams strengthen Sweco's approach to market themes such as circular economy, climate adaptation and biodiversity. The focus of this department is on activities that promote the development and conservation of nature, climate and sustainability. Examples of disciplines belonging to this department are ecology, sustainability consultancy and process and programme management.

In both departments, people from the same discipline are also organised into discipline teams for knowledge sharing, which contributes to internal cooperation and cohesion. The new organisational structure is currently being implemented.
