I now find that my old rubric that anything other than a hierarchical structure requires internal or external energy to survive is still true. I’m indebted to John Hunt (http://tinyurl.com/3kc6bzn) for the original insight but keep on coming back to it as clients try matrix structures that degrade into chaos
The rule is that unless there is energy in the structure – external as in you are being kicked by your market or internal of some sort then conventional structures are de reigeur
