Executive Masterclass in Matrix Optimisation

How mature is your matrix organisation?  

The level of maturity of your matrix structure has a direct impact on the matrix dynamics that are required for optimal business performance in complex organisations.   

The Executive Masterclass in Matrix Optimisation takes you through a process of evaluating your matrix against the Ponte Valle  Matrix Maturity Model; from direction, alignment of business and people systems through to culture.

You will determine where you are against each of these levels and determine a road map for optimising for greater impact:

Direction: In a matrix environment, direction needs to be clear.  Direction is what we invest our energy in.  When our structure is complex, the role of direction becomes more critical.

Aligned Systems: Saying you are a matrix organisation without having systems and processes that align with and enable matrix working adds to the complexity and ambiguity of a matrix

Leaders:  communicate the direction and demonstrate the required culture.

Workforce: Your people need the capability and mindset required to tolerate ambiguity,  create some structure for themselves and to be resilient.

Culture:  Is often the forgotten piece of the success puzzle, as the focus is traditionally on national culture.  Yet the ability for a team or function to be open, approachable, connected with the company values and reason for being in a matrix is essential.
