Death of The Org Chart: Rise of the Organizational Graph
Death of the Org Chart is a real world How To Book.
We will teach you how to think about your organizational design, structure and your org chart through a different lens, from a modern perspective. You will learn how to unravel and organize the structural complexities inherent in your modern day organization. It is for people who are not happy with the status quo, who want to become organizational design experts.

The old question, like the classic Organizational Chart, gets to something vital, but in a way that misses the ever more complicated reality of 21st century organizations. Not only has "Who is doing what?" turned into an incredibly complex question, "What am I doing and why?" has become a painfully difficult one for workers to answer.
My goal here is to provide an approach and a set of tools that allow both leaders and Individual Contributors (ICs) to answer these extended Drucker questions honestly and completely. My aim is
What is Organizational Cognizance? As anyone familiar with the word "cognizance" might guess, it has lots to do with awareness and knowledge……
