Pros and cons
What is good with the usual way of structuring is that it reflects
the thinking on business organization the last +200 years.
What is bad is that it solidify the rather old way of thinking about
organizing a business.
So why would one choose this pattern then?
If it is more important to gather intelligence on capabilities than to
try to impose organizational thinking via capabilities then it is
highly effective.
Does it always look like this?
Basically, yes. However on occasions you will find the order of the
boxes thrown around.
THE HIERARCHY PERSPECTIVE THE SERVICE PERSPECTIVE THE SYSTEM PERSPECTIVE
Pros and cons
What is good with the service way of structuring is that it reflects
the thinking on business as a service delivery organization.
What is bad is that it can be a challenge to sell if people are stuck
in the hierarchy way of organizing.
So why would one choose this pattern then?
If people think of their organization as a service delivery business
or if they are on a path to become such.
Does it always look like this?
Basically, yes. However on occasions you will find that envision
has switched place with enable.
Pros and cons
What is good with the systems way of structuring is that it reflects
the thinking on business organization as a fractal structure.
What is bad is that it comes very close to how one need to build
the organization to run it.
So why would one choose this pattern then?
If one want’s to create a self organizing business that is highly
agile on all accounts then this is the pattern to choose.
Does it always look like this?
Basically, yes.
