Product Features

  • Design principles provide clear decision-making guardrails that ensure organisational changes remain aligned with strategic goals while maintaining consistency across the business. This prevents ad-hoc restructuring decisions that create inefficiencies.

    Modus generates design principles based on your organisation’s unique context, strategy, and business transformation goals.

  • Analysing current positions helps us understand capability gaps, workload distribution, and how responsibilities actually flow in practice so we can design a structure that improves on what exists today.

    Modus streamlines hours of position analysis and provides an organisation-wide view of functions, responsibilities, and capability requirements (like technical or leadership skills and qualifications).

  • Staff feedback uncovers the operational realities that aren't visible in org charts and position descriptions.

    The survey tool analyses interview notes and survey results to surface themes and pain points that are relevant to organisational design.

  • The analytics dashboards in Modus reveal patterns (like spans of control, salary distribution, tenure, and reporting relationships) that inform our understanding of structural inefficiencies and help us make evidence-based decisions rather than gut-feel restructuring.

  • Functional design defines how work flows, roles interact, and processes operate within a specific department or business function to achieve its objectives efficiently.

    With strategic inputs, data analytics, and design principles, Modus recommends distinct structural models to inform organisational design.

  • Organisational design defines the overall structure of reporting relationships, departmental groupings, and governance mechanisms that enable the entire organisation to execute its strategy effectively.

    The organisational design recommendations from Modus help you compare structural models (to the team level) based on preferred functional design(s).

  • Modus analyses the potential impact of AI and automation in your organisation, identifying which tasks can be automated within existing roles, enabling leaders to make strategic decisions about how to reshape positions, redeploy capacity, and evolve job designs.

  • Automating position description writing eliminates 90% of the manual drafting time, ensures consistency across similar roles, and frees HR teams to focus on strategic work rather than repetitive documentation tasks.

  • The position impact analysis tool in Nexus compares current roles against proposed structures to identify which positions could be affected, whether comparable roles exist in the new design, and what changes individuals might face.

  • Staff consultation tends to be an administratively heavy process - collecting, collating, analysing, and responding to feedback can consume significant time and resources.

    The feedback analysis tool streamlines this, surfacing critical decisions and potential structural changes without spending days or weeks juggling different documents and spreadsheets.

How much does Modus cost?

Do you need the whole platform, or just a few features? Is Modus going to support organisational design across your whole organisation, or maybe only one department, or a few teams? Will you be running your organisational design in-house, or do you need consulting support from our expert team?

Full platform pricing starts at $7,500 + GST, though it’ll differ based on your circumstances - for example, if you’re a large organisation that only needs help with staff consultation, or if you’re a small organisation that also wants consulting support. We always tailor our services and pricing to what you need.

We’ve developed a range of packages that are tailored to all these variables.
