Structure is the way vision, strategy, tactics and principles etc. are presented and implemented by an organization or group. - The HUB
The HUB defines 5 key elements of good structure:
- Lines up with the group’s purpose and resources.
- Moves the group forward without exhausting members.
- Everyone knows how decisions are made.
- New members are supported and able to navigate the group.
- Navigates conflict generatively to encourage healthy group culture.

How can we implement new group structure elements when a group is firmly set in its ways?
Reach alignment with the group first so everyone is on the same page about:
a) The need for new group structure elements and
b) What the design process will be.
It may take some time, but things can also be seen as iterations where not everything changes at once but slowly over time (sometimes that might work, sometimes it won’t).
