Organization Chart Overview

I. Overview​

First, it’s necessary to acknowledge that there are many methods for building a company’s organization chart, namely:

  • Matrix model
  • Functional model
  • Flat organization model
  • Geographical organization model
  • and so on.

Simplamo uses "Functional model” but we add more points in order to emphasize the accountability and encourage high proactivity.
