Synopsis

Is it time to Upgrade Your Matrix Operating System?

An organizational operating system (OS) is like the OS on a computer. If it's up-to-date, your machine runs smoothly, if not - you may start to experience problems when you try to apply modern management technology. If you're struggling with any of the following, it may be time to upgrade to Matrix Management 2.0(TM) (MM 2.0):



- Frequent reorganization to resolve problems

- Lack of alignment between functions

- Leaders struggling to work without authority

- Lack of cooperation across functions/departments/divisions

- Late or over-budget projects

- Over-committed resources

- Blame and finger-pointing



Written by Paula K. Martin, author of the
Matrix Management 2.0 Body of Knowledge, the
Matrix Management 2.0 Quick Guide is an introduction for newcomers, and a reference for those already familiar with MM 2.0 solutions. You'll learn why Vertical Management 1.0 and Matrix Management 1.0 are outdated, and why the fundamentals of MM 2.0 - leading without authority, cross-functional cooperation, and alignment with external customers - are critical in our complex global environment.



The Quick Guide also introduces SPARC(TM), 5 keys to improving any matrix, and the MM 2.0 Matrix Maturity Model. These tools can be used to assess an organization's matrix maturity and determine the best way to get started improving operations.
