HRD Connect: Does your Function need a Meeting

I’ve been writing on Linkedin about other ways of organising and the need to shift focus from vertical hierarchies to eg horizontal teams. Doing this offers a lot of benefits in terms of increased effectiveness and efficiency.

However, it’s not even always necessary to shift focus in order to gain these benefits. Sometimes simply understanding the current focus is enough. Eg to realise that when we do have vertical hierarchies that we don’t have to treat groupings of people working at the same level and for the same manager like horizontal teams!

I’ve written about this in the context of functional ‘team’ meetings at HRD Connect.
