2' Read: Organisation Chart Reflect Challenges
One of the first things that I do as Organisation, Leadership & Team coach, when getting to know the organisation is : Exploring the Organisation chart & Architecture overview.
Why?
Organisation chart & Architecture overview will very much reflect how the organisation , teams are organised, as well as what the inter-dependencies/ challenges are.
It also reflects which challenges most of the teams have in common.
In Organisational Design, we talked about 7 common type of Organizational Structures
1. Hierarchical
2. Functional
3. Horizontal or flat
4. Divisional (market-based, product-based, geographic)
5. Matrix
6. Team-based
7. Network
(Some suggested 8 or 10 types)
There are pros & cons for each of these org structure. And on the workfloor these pros & cons are observable in various cases, places.
Which Organisation structure does Your organisation have?
and
How does it relate to Challenges that You & Your Teams have?
