There is no question that the traditional Hierarchy model is broken. However, the reason may not be due to a shift in how people do things and work. The traditional assembly line mentality forces everyone to focus on their own part of the puzzle rather than the greater whole.
In depart-mental structures too much gets lost in translation, or work takes time to be conveyed and if you a tilapia fish in a Hierarchy, your opinion matters less. Thinking is not encouraged; decisions take longer to be made. Because the tilapia fish tells the bigger fish and the bigger fish tells the sharks.
Departmental thinking simply doesn’t work in today’s world, because it leaves too much to be misinterpreted and works toward predetermined solutions. Where solutions are based on who has been with the company for donkeys of years or even to take it further is superior to whom.
Ideas have no superiority. Everyone is equal before an idea.
