How to Draw a Hierarchical Organizational Chart

There are a number of different organizational structures. The most appropriate structure will depend on the size of the business and the type of business. A hierarchical organizational structure is one of the most typical organizational structure. This structure can be represented as a pyramid, with a single entity in authority at the top, with subsequent levels of power beneath them. Each member of the pyramid reports only to their direct subordinates or superiors, limiting the amount of communication overhead, which can be seen both as an asset or a limitation. It is easy to see where a hierarchical structure would be an effective solution; companies that have offices based in disparate locations, a business that focuses on diversified markets, any organization with a need for multiple levels of middle management. You can easily create a clear hierarchical organizational chart using ConceptDraw solution that contains templates of the 25 Typical Orgcharts.

How to Draw a Matrix Organizational Chart

There are a number of moments which are influenced by how the organizational structure of a certain business needs to be, how complex, and which type it should keep. The matrix organizational structure is atypical because it brings together employees and managers from different departments to work toward accomplishing a goal. This structure is commonly found in businesses that have more than one line of reportage. For instance, a company might contain an engineering department with engineering managers who workers report to. However, these workers might also have to liaise with a different product or project managers depending on current tasks. Some form of matrix organization is found in most large-scale modern businesses. It is one of the most complicated reporting structures.
