Dutch term or phrase: organisatieonderdeel

I'm trying to find a short term. The meaning is 'part of the organisation'. I can't use 'business unit', since the organisation is divided into what they call 'businesses'. To them 'organisatieonderdeel' are: separate services, teams, departments.
Example of context: Een van de belangrijkste stappen in het hele implementatieproces, is de oriëntatie op het project door (de directie van) [organisatieonderdeel]
