BS Grupo is a Peruvian entrepreneurial venture begun in 2000. The company has grown relatively fast, becoming a leading training provider in Peru. The venture delivers high level and specialized training services in the the areas of mining and information technologies, and on specific topics, such as project, maintenance, and quality management. Although it has experienced relatively fast growth, BS Grupo has missed market opportunities and has delayed the deployment of strategic projects needed for its long term sustainability. The company has developed strong capabilities to identify market opportunities and to configure products to address them; however, BS Grupo has experienced major problems in the areas of people management and organizational structure. This thesis analyzes the current organizational design of BS Grupo using three lenses: strategic, political and cultural. Recommendations are made to develop a new organizational design that supports the growth plans of the venture.
