Has anyone been involved with, or have knowledge of, recent research into the merits/demerits, conditions for success of matrix management as a form of organisational design?
This is a group to discuss all aspects of coaching. Please share your questions, comments, insights and any interesting cases.
Agreed - though that does not go far enough to my mind and I think the attached paper teases out five dimensions rather well. There may be more!
I thought this was a breath of fresh air:

I wanted to comment particularly on the Santa Fe "school" which is referred to here. For an introduction to Santa Fe economic complexity thinking see: “Strategy at the edge of chaos” by Eric D. Beinhocker.
For a fascinating application in leadershi…
My favourite tip is simple: Keep business cards you receive in one pocket. Put your own in another pocket. Remember which is which! Doing this helps to avoid pulling out the card of a competitor instead of your own card.

Managing High Potential Individual Contributors
In career and talent management practice the high potential employee who is a business critical, individual contributor represents one of the most valuable resources an organisation has. They are a sizeable investment and managing their careers can be challenging task - especially for the manager whose personal career plan looks very different.

Effective facilitation of the feedback session will enable individuals to get the most out of this development opportunity. Ineffective facilitation is likely to disable t… Continue

Evaluating Executive On Boarding
With President Obama's first 100 days fresh in the mind, I have been reflecting on "executive on-boarding programmes". Do they really make a difference and enable senior executives - new to the complexities of our corporate environment - to be effective as soon as possible? Have we got the balance of activities right? Is an accent on building a network really helping? Could we, perhaps, boil the whole thing down to five simple questions that incoming business leaders should ask their colleagues:… Continue
