Unveiling Informal Structures: The Real Organization Chart PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 61-slide Enterprise Organizational Assessment Toolkit PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for understanding the "real" organization chart within a company, emphasizing the importance of informal relationships that often differ from official structures. It begins with a description noting that a "real" organization chart is crucial for revealing relationships and responsibilities that may not be visible in official charts. This insight is vital for executives aiming to grasp the underlying dynamics of their organization.

The purpose section clarifies that the intent is to illustrate the impact of informal reporting lines and responsibilities, contrasting them with the formal ones. This distinction is essential for leaders who need to navigate the complexities of their teams effectively.

The process outlined is straightforward yet effective. It starts with reviewing the official organization chart and engaging key managers in discussions about their roles and those of others on the chart. This probing is designed to uncover the "real" relationships that exist, which may not align with formal titles or positions. The final step involves creating a real chart and validating it through feedback from selected individuals, ensuring its accuracy and relevance.

Critical success factors highlight the necessity of engaging with the right stakeholders and maintaining open communication to accurately capture the informal dynamics at play. This approach not only aids in understanding the organization better, but also facilitates more informed decision-making. For potential customers, this slide offers a clear methodology for assessing organizational structure, making it a valuable tool for enhancing operational effectiveness.
