Build a Better Business: Understanding Your Organizational Chart. (The Worksheet)
In the last ten years, how many things have you heard are “dead”?
Email, landlines, offices, retail stores.
And yet all of these things still exist. They evolved.
The same is true for the organizational chart, which people have been declaring as “dead” for almost ten years.
But the org chart is not dead: the org chart can be your most versatile and effective business tool.
A blueprint for success
And organizational chart starts with a simple question:
What does your business have to do to be successful?
An organizational chart is more than just a visual representation of a company’s structure.
It is a blueprint that outlines the key functions and responsibilities necessary for achieving business goals.
By understanding the necessary activities of your business, you can effectively break them down into departments and individual roles.
A plan for prosperity
Because your business should do everything it should do to be successful.
And it should do only what it should do to be successful.
When you plot these efforts on an organizational chart, it’s easier to define what your business should do, and then easier to organize what it’s doing.
