Purpose: identifying barriers that occur at each stage of the organization's design process. Design/methodology/approach: the research project uses literature analysis and interviews with experts. The research was based on the opinions of managers and experts related to the design of the organization. A questionnaire was used to collect opinions. Findings: research results show the fundamental importance of gathering information in the process of designing an organization. The respondents also pointed to the barriers related to the use of internal experts and to tensions and conflicts between project stakeholders. The research confirmed the hypothesis about the different intensity of barriers at different stages of the organization design process. Research limitations/implications: research findings indicate the need for a deeper investigation of the information gathering process in the organization's diagnosis and design process. Practical implications: the results indicate that in the designing process of the organization particular attention should be paid to problems related to information gathering. The article synthetically discusses the recommended methods of obtaining information. Social implications: research results can be helpful in the implementation of improvement processes in profit and non-profit organizations. Originality/value: emphasizing the role of qualitative information in shaping organizational solutions. The research results can be used by practitioners, consultants and other researchers.
