lBecause of the fundamental changes that
are occurring in how work is performed,
the traditional organization chart view fails
to offer an accurate description of how
today’s organizations need to work!
èThe traditional view focuses on the boss, whereas today’s leading organization’s focus on the customer.
èThe traditional organization chart does not acknowledge customers, suppliers, or how work flows horizontally across the organization. It fails to show the relationships among individuals in the same function, between different functions, or with customers.
èThe traditional view perpetuates an emphasis on directing and supervising individuals as they perform their job.
