Org Chart

Org Chart - Distinct Geographic Div -Market focusROUNDTABLEv

Visio version. Another useful example of a simple matrix organisational chart. This large corporation has three operating divisions because it operates in three nations. This means that each of these divisions needs a flat functional department structure that are all pretty much the same, but, because the markets they operate in are completely distinct and subject to quite different linguistic, cultural and legal conditions of trade, there is no point in them being housed together. Each Division is quite independent. This particular org chart is interesting because of the importance of marketing. They have adopted a "round table" approach chaired by the Divisional Marketing Manager. This more complex marketing focus will be flat functional multiplied by three, which results in 4 basic levels of management plus a separate corporate division that is quite removed from the sales process, which is largely concerned only with the life of the overall amalgamated corporation, or maybe sells a few services to the national divisions. At the fifth level there are operational groups in the marketing process that get to play in the ring and departmental managers are assigned ownership (lines) and involvement (dotted lines) of these fifth level processes. Presented as a simple diagram. (International planning presentation) (H-2028)

Org Chart - complex matrix - Large Construction

A complex organisational chart built for a construction company, but could work for any operation that is based on separate projects requiring a high level of technical knowlege and experience, such as scientific, engineering, architecture, oil rigging, mining, etc. Presented as a simple diagram, this organisation has three divisions, that fan out around the general manager. The corporate division is separated from the other two divisions which are organised in a matrix that focuses on the projects, with functional organisation (or separate team management systems) in one direction vs project management in the other. The maximum possible project control results, with the corporate section staying out of the day-to-day operations, often a key issue in corporate governance of these types of projects. 98% of project costing will be generated by what the project manager has to "buy" from the rest of the organisation, which adds a new level of project reporting. Costing of the Corporate division will be standard costing but the rest of the costing will be very direct. A very interesting example. (International planning presentation) (H-2017)

Org Chart - flat functional - Manufacturing

A simple explanatory organisational chart for a manufacturer, incorporating upstream/downstream strategic planning and costing. This organisation has six departments, flatly organised (all at the same level), that describe the full manufacturing and distribution process, with a focus on the manufacturing department. The GM, the company secretary and the treasurer all sit on the board and service all the departments. There are two departments upstream from the manufacturing department and three departments downstream. There are three simple temporal periods for planning and control - short term, medium term and long term, and key words for each period describe the key decisions that need to be made in each period. Short term decisions are downstream, medium term decisions are focal, and long term decisions involve everyone. The accounting and reporting will line up with these three periods and are cleanly separated by department. (International planning presentation) (H-2012)

Org Chart - flat functional - Sales

A simple explanatory organisational chart, incorporating upstream/downstream strategic planning and costing, for a sales company, selling a product such as a financial service or a generic product such as travel. This organisation has six departments, flatly organised (all at the same level), that describe the full sales process, with a focus on the sales department. The GM, the company secretary and the treasurer all sit on the board and service all the departments. There are three departments upstream from the sales department and two departments downstream. There are three simple temporal periods for planning and control - short term, medium term and long term, and key words for each period describe the key decisions that need to be made in each period. Short term decisions are downstream; for medium term decisions the focus shifts to the advertising department; and long term decisions involve everyone. The accounting and reporting is less dominated by temporal planning because this is a very immediate process able to change more rapidly because it is not manufacturing anything.

Org Chart - simple matrix - Distinct Geographic Divisions

Another useful example of a simple matrix organisational chart. This large corporation has three operating divisions because it operates in three nations. This means that each of these divisions needs a flat functional department structure that are all pretty much the same, but, because the markets they operate in are completely distinct and subject to quite different linguistic, cultural and legal conditions of trade, there is no point in them being housed together. Each Division is quite independent. This means the flat functional is multiplied by three, which results in 4 basic levels of management plus a separate corporate division that is quite removed from the sales process, which is largely concerned only with the life of the overall amalgamated corporation, or maybe sells a few services to the national divisions. To complete this chart, import the flat functional chart appropriate to the operations (e.g. Manufacturing or Sales) for each country, with upstream/downstream strategic planning and costing, and you have the complete picture. Presented as a simple diagram. (International planning presentation) (H-2019)

Org Chart - simple matrix - Unrelated Product Divisions

The main reason for the simple matrix organisational chart is clearly explained in this example. This large corporation has three operating divisions because it operates in three unrelated market sectors. The matrix org chart assumes that each of these divisions needs a flat functional department structure that are all pretty much the same, but, because their products are so different, there is no point in them being housed together. This means the flat functional is multiplied by three, which results in 4 basic levels of management plus a separate corporate division that focuses on the life of the overall amalgamated corporation, and sells a few services to the operating divisions. To complete this chart, import the flat functional chart appropriate to the operations (e.g. Manufacturing or Sales) for each product division, with upstream/downstream strategic planning and costing, and you have the complete picture. Presented as a simple diagram. (International planning presentation) (H-2018)

Org Chart Small corporation, analysed for lines of authority

A simple organisation chart for a small management project related corporation with different analytical charts for different lines of authority for contract management, supervision, industrial relations, safety, and quality assurance. Not something you can just borrow but an interesting example to copy the methodology. (H-2021)
