Org charts

Visio. An interesting example. This is a marketing bureau. Does the organisation chart have to be boring and structural? Or can the dynamism of the operations of the bureau be reflected in the way the bureau is organised? This org chart sees everything as a project. The key to the life of this bureau is creativity and good ideas. Its org chart is dominated by this. It gets a potential customer and interrogates the customer about needs and aspirations and then does a brainstorming event or series of events that come up with the marketing plan.

Before recruitment can take place the relationships between the recruitee and all the other people in his/her Work Unit must be fully understood. This means that all the Organization Charts should be completed and up-to-date.

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.

Word. An interesting example. This organisation chart depicts a marketing division. It has three departments for regular marketing, sales and research plus a schema for regular project work related to marketing. The marketing director reckons she has the best resources already on staff and so she sees these as the best resources to be ustilised by the project manager. She doesn't have to waste valuable effort bringing outsiders up to scratch, and the technical prowess is already there and able to just get on with the job.

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.
