Comments on: Walt Disney’s Creative Organization Chart http://www.atissuejournal.com/2009/08/07/walt-disney%e2%80%99s-creative-organization-chart/ by Corporate Design Foundation Thu, 24 Nov 2011 17:09:21 +0000 hourly 1 By: shall1028 http://www.atissuejournal.com/2009/08/07/walt-disney%e2%80%99s-creative-organization-chart/comment-page-1/#comment-826 shall1028 Wed, 18 May 2011 15:49:00 +0000 http://www.atissuejournal.com/?p=1991#comment-826 Commenters who smugly point out that the chart represents "Operations and Not Authorities" and there must exist a conventional authorities chart miss the point. I think it is important to note that in most organizations the the two types of charts are the same. This stultifies creativity in whatever the company's field happens to be (whether it be producing films or making widgets) as those at the bottom of the chart feel the crushing weight of bureaucratic inertia.

It leads me to believe that there's another more hierarchical chart. Since the chart clearly states at the bottom, “This Chart Designates Operations and Not Authorities”.

I think it'd be quite a fun addition to my office, along with a few Disneyland ride posters. Does anyone happen to know if a poster of this is available?

I work in social media and increasingly see companies struggling to adopt social technologies - not because it doesn't suit their brand or their staff don't get it but because they're not set up to listen, respond, adapt, collaborate, create.... Suddenly process is way more important that structure. Suddenly being democratic and ideas driven is more important hierarchy. Maybe, the evolution since 1943 is that this 'could' replace a structured chart? Not sure, i am no HR expert. There has been some stuff written about 'social org design' with models looking a lot like this, but Walts name provides a credible case study - even if its from 1943!
