STRUCTURES
• What STRUCTURE does your organization have/foster?
• What do you think of Pixar’s PRINCIPLES? Are they applicable to ALL
Enterprises? To your’s? Why not?
• Which EXAMPLES can you think of for the different organigrams? (Military
forces, refugee camp, hospital, university ....)
• WHAT is the role of a leader in each organigram? Managers? Workers?
• Is one organigram more PRODUCTIVE than another? Why?
• Can you DRAW other kinds of structures? (Snow crystals, leafs, brain ...)
• How does a structure affect MARKETING/PRODUCTS? (Think of Apple’s
use of “PC guy” in their ads.) How does it affect the work SPACE?
• How are organigrams affected in a MERGER? Are HYBRIDS created?
• BUT MOST IMPORTANT: What is YOUR life’s organigram?
