The industry standard model of a line and staff hierarchical organization, with singular reporting lines, is rapidly dissolving with the growing influence of New Economy distributed organizational models. So-called “internet time” has reduced timeframes and raised productivity expectations so significantly that traditional team and reporting structures are being replaced with more fluid and responsive matrix organizations.

We help our clients to explore alternative organizational structures to find one that is best suited to the task at hand. We create management plans that outline the schedule, the roles and responsibilities, and the expected project deliverables. We encourage the use of internet, intranet, and videoconferencing solutions to communication and task distribution to assemble the best team for the job, without regard to location. Yet we never lose sight of the fact that however the team is organized, and however high-tech the tools, the objective is to put in place a time-sensitive, cost-effective physical development using low-tech, weather-dependent tools, labor, and material.
