Evolving beyond org charts

[Fran]

Integrating Value Networks into the Traditional Organization

We have become stuck – thinking that the org chart is how the work
gets done. But the work flows all over the place, between the lines
and in informal networks.

A person may have different hats to wear - and execute different roles
from day to day. The org chart often does not really honor these
multiple roles that people play. A role is different than a job on the
chart.

Companies that are integrating value network modeling and analysis
have created role taxonomies around work that complement the org
chart. People can be qualified to play certain roles and can be
allocated much more flexibly to those roles as needed.
