Example 1: The following is a generalized case of a U.S. Federal Government organization:
The executive's role is in Strata 5 (equivalent to Business Unit President). The organizational structure pulls down the work of the executive into Strata 3, and 4. Can this organization achieve its missions in its current setup?
Example 2: How often has your organization reorganized?
Frequent reorganization is a sign of a dysfunctional organization, leading to failure. Can you guess which large U.S. hi-tech organization reorganized about every 3 months, and where they are today?
