I really like the ideas presented here, and I love the notion of dynamically adaptable organizational operations to enable/maximize network advantages, but the only folks who've ever thought that the "org chart" was how the organization "actually worked" were the persons listed in the top box. [anecdotally] - everybody knows that if you want to know how we've dealt with any difficult issue before, you have to ask Bob ... and if you want anything done about the CEO's tirades, you have to have Becky in admin smooth things over-straighten it out. - The truth is in nearly every organization there have always been informal networks contained within organizations that emerge and operate "behind the scenes" of the official reporting structures.
