Leadership Framework: Network Organization

A network organization by definition is a company whose management structure is inward-out versus top-down. Tasks are disseminated directly to the responsible member(s) of the company who then assume Direction, Responsibility & Authority (DRA) over that task. The objective is to utilize whatever resources needed to get the task completed as effectively and as efficiently as possible. Members who have DRA can, without approval from management, request resource support from anyone within in the organization in order to get the task completed. Our across-the-board communication enables us to include every employee general staff, consultants, even the President.

The benefit of a network organization framework is that anyone within the organization can provide real-time, client-specific support. Each member is managed based on performance, which enables each member to inherit a since of ownership of a project or task.
