According to him, it provides guidance to all employees by laying

mind to the organizational structure, departments can work more
like well-oiled machines, focusing time and energy on productive
tasks.
Planning the organizational structure ensures there are enough
human resources with the right skills to accomplish the company’s
goals, and ensures that responsibilities are clearly defined. Thus, it
should be designed to with clear lines of communication in mind. As
the company grows, the organizational structure must evolve with
it.

find that critical deadlines are not met because there were not
sufficient human resources in each department to accomplish all
parts of a given task. Thus, if the structure is properly defined, it
becomes very easy for the company employees to communicate.
