6503C09 SHSpec-54 The New Organizational Structure

Expansion shows up weaknesses. It is like turning on a magnifying
glass.

The problem that a person has, who is not doing well in business, is that
he is being and not doing. To understand an org, you must understand the
formula of life: Living is having and following a purpose. ["Livingness" has
to do with the doingness of life.]

Here is a further test of an org: Could you take a central org pattern
and reduce it to city office size [See p. 300, above, for description of what
a city office is.], and have it still work? If the big pattern doesn't
smoothly reduce, it won't smoothly expand.

Brief org structure:

Div 1: Idea. HCO: Issues data on processing.

Div 2: Management. Training and processing services.

Div 3: Pick up and police. Collects money and takes care of MEST.

They are interlocked, so they stick together, but:

Divs 1 & 2 don't organize MEST.

Divs 2 & 3 don't handle communication.

Divs 1 & 3 don't train anybody in anything.

The ED of each board is the assistant ED of another board, higher in the
hierarchy and located elsewhere. He judges only on statistics.
