How to Make Matrix Organizations Operate More Efficiently

is in the need of globalization and organizational management, more and more companies are ready to become matrix organizations. In fact, we do see many leaders hesitant to introduce matrix structures in their companies, even when there is a need for cross-functional collaboration, integration or cost-sharing. Matrix organization obviously brings a lot of waste of resources, lack of responsibility, long meeting time and many difficulties that are difficult to manage, which all contribute to the cause of this confusion.

Ruiwei Consulting has many years of experience, mainly by finding the right balance between effective global (headquarters) operations and local conditions and requirements, to help the company ensure that its matrix structure can add the value it needs. Designing a scientific and effective organizational structure and operational process is a very important aspect.

However, we find that designing such a solution alone is not enough to solve all the problems of matrix organization, because in matrix organization, the traditional linear power boundary is blurred. Therefore, coping with these trends requires a new type of leader whose core is focused on cooperative skills. "Matrix leaders" must be able to achieve their goals through effective management by others, whether upward, horizontal or downward. They need to be masters of virtualization and cross-company team leadership and coordination.

Leaders need to deal with increasingly diverse teams, build trust, exert influence, give more autonomy, etc.; in short, they need to be leaders who are more forward-looking and learn to use new technologies.
