What's in this Galbraith Star Model template

The Galbraith Star Model on one page - strategy, structure, processes, rewards and people as five points, each linked to every other, with a line on what each one covers.

A one-page summary: when to use it, the steps for checking how well the five points fit together, and the traps to watch for, like redesigning the structure and leaving the rewards pointing at the old behaviours.

It's a PDF, so you can print it for a leadership session, work through it on screen, or keep it beside a restructure plan.

Tips for using it

Start with strategy - if that isn't clear, the other four points will be guesswork. Work through each element separately before looking at alignment across all five. Use it with your leadership team rather than in isolation.
