How would your business benefit from an organisational chart?

Humans are naturally wired for connection, but there’s a limit to how many close relationships we can maintain. According to Dunbar’s number, while we can have stable connections with about 150 people, the number of close relationships, those we rely on for trust, collaboration and support is much smaller, around 50.

In the workplace, as teams grow and responsibilities expand, fostering genuine connections becomes increasingly difficult, leading to miscommunication and inefficiencies.

Without these connections, or easy access to the information needed to make them, information can bottleneck at the outer edge of the 150 connections, causing problems when important information isn’t passed along. 

This challenge is amplified within the modern business environment, with organisations operating across multiple locations, diverse cultures and different time zones.

This is where organizational charts step in, offering a solution by visually mapping the structure of your organization.

Businesses are dynamic and ever-changing, with new hires, shifting roles, vacant positions and people working across several teams. A successful organisational chart can adapt and do more than just list people and positions. Helping enhance collaboration and communication, support the onboarding process and serve as an essential tool for planning future growth.

Using tools like Microsoft Visio or Microsoft Powerpoint, effectively creating and updating charts by hand is time-consuming, frustrating, almost impossible to keep up to date and open to human error. This can put pressure on the organization’s chart administrator, while the rest of the business is often left thinking that it is a straight forward job.

In today’s modern workplace, where central administrative systems like Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Teams and SharePoint are the norm, tools like TeamOrgChart offer a transformative solution.
