Organizational Mapping

The Organizational Mapping delivers an action plan in which the Machinerie’s team provides a 360-degree analysis of the company or collective’s environment. The analysis stems from a diagnosis of clarity of artistic vision and effectiveness of management practices and includes practical recommendations that can be applied over the medium term. The action plans compiles activities and resources necessary to achieve quantitative and qualitative goals identified by the Machinerie’s team. This strategic positioning process offers a method of achieving the company or collective’s goals and ultimately realizing its mission.

This is an accelerated process with a short time span for those who do not have the resources or time to carry out the exercise with an external consultant. We work in conjunction with teams and boards of directors using a comprehensive strategic thinking and planning approach.

Collaboration Unit terms and conditions

Collaboration Unit terms and conditions
The Machinerie will plan a meeting between the applicant and the resource to confirm their interest in working together, set out the nature of the collaboration and provide a framework for the process.
A collaboration agreement is signed jointly by the parties and the Machinerie’s management. It describes the nature of the work to be completed, the goals set collectively and any identified remuneration.
The Machinerie collects a fee from both parties calculated according to the value of the collaboration agreement. The fee is 1% for the applicant and 5% for the resource, with a minimum service charge of $5. Note that the amount is capped at $50 for the applicant and $250 for the resource.
The Machinerie establishes a process of assessing the collaboration in order to guarantee quality of service. Through this process, the Machinerie thus ensures that the work ethic established in the applicant/resource relationship meets our organization’s philosophy and values.
