Overview

Matrix management is becoming a common structure for many organisations today. It’s a flexible approach to organising and managing teams and provides many opportunities to better share resources and skills within a business. It’s a collaborative approach that can increase engagement, provide career opportunities for employees, and deliver new and exciting ways of working.

A matrix style of management is not without its dangers though and some of the early implementations highlighted risks that businesses have learned to avoid with some adaptation of the original approach. Matrix Management 2.0 has consequently become the more usual framework.
