Basic organisation altering (8)
I believe the answer is:
integral
'basic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'organisation altering' is the wordplay.
'organisation' is an anagram indicator.
'altering' anagrammed gives 'INTEGRAL'.
(Other definitions for integral that I've seen before include "though whole" , "Altering (anag)" , "Large tin (anag.)" , "United" , "Formed of constituent parts" .)
