In reply to LO5683 and LO5692:

Both of these posts (and probably some others not mentioned here)
discussed alternative concepts to Organizational Charts (and ultimately
how an organization functions). This may be an interesting thread in
itself.

I don't know if it could ever classify as an org-chart, but in the book
Transforming the Way We Work there was an interesting diagram. I can't
recall the author and don't have the book right now. I believe it was
written in 1995. It was a short book on building a collaborative work
environment. There were several diagrams in the book, one of which
impressed me the most.

It had a large ring in the center, with smaller rings each intersecting
the larger ring. All of the rings represented various teams of people. If
I remember correctly, the intersecting portions of each ring was
representative of someone who serves as a link between the two.

When I get the book back, maybe I can describe it better if anyone is
interested.
