Les grands types de relation composant une structure organisationnelle

On peut en distinguer quatre, que l'on va retrouver sur un organigramme :

la relation hiérarchique (line)
La relation de conseil (staff)
La relation de spécialisation (fonction de l'entreprise)
Les relations latérales

Les six éléments de la structure organisationnelle d'une entreprise

En fonction de leur nature — politique, criminelle, militaire, économique, etc. — toutes les organisations ne se structurent pas de la même façon. Il s'agit ici des six éléments de la structure organisationnelle d'une entreprise. Ce sont :

La spécialisation du travail ;
La départementalisation ;
La chaîne hiérarchique ;
L'éventail de contrôle ;
La centralisation ;
La formalisation.

Les 5 grands modèles de structures organisationnelles

On rencontre principalement 5 grandes catégories de structures organisationnelles :

La structure hiérarchique ;
La structure fonctionnelle ;
La structure divisionnelle ;
La structure matricielle ;
La structure hiérarchico-fonctionnelle.

The key predictive IT delivery metrics uncovered by the book Accelerate and the State of DevOps Reports - aka “DORA metrics” - point the way towards flow-centric operating models for every modern enterprise building and running software-enriched services. However, improving flow of value within an organization is often difficult due to cross-team dependencies and coupling: everything is tangled. In an organization with 700 software engineers, if 60% of the time is spent waiting on other teams - a typical industry flow efficiency - the financial penalty of dependencies and coupling is high. It is vital, therefore, to invest in decoupling and removing team dependencies - untangling - to enable value to flow better and more efficiently.

In this talk, Matthew Skelton - founder at Conflux and co-author of the book Team Topologies - explores techniques and metrics to help you untangle your software delivery, together with real-world examples of organizations successfully applying Team Topologies and related approaches to decouple teams and improve flow:

Independent Service Heuristics (ISH)
User Needs Mapping (UNM)
The 4 key metrics (DORA)
Flow efficiency and proxy measures

Increasingly, the ideas and patterns in Team Topologies (TT) are being applied worldwide not just in software/IT but increasingly in non-IT contexts like legal services, healthcare, education, and HR, resulting in quicker time-to-market and better ROI. These applications of TT point the way to an operating model for fast flow organizations.
