Structure - Utilizing the Universal Organizing Principle

Structure is the connection between distinct business aspects such as activities, processes, departments, business units, vendors and suppliers. Your structure supports the functions that your organization performs; form follows function.

Structure is your methodology for organizing your resources and this sets you apart from other organizations delivering similar value propositions to the same market segment. In other words, structure provides all the building blocks for creating your sustainable competitive advantage.

Organizations collapse due to a failure of their structure when it has been undermined by poor design, incorrect implementation of strategic initiatives, faulty maintenance and/or bad management decisions.
