On org design...

When designing an org (chart), it is important to remember two things:

1) designing an org can sometimes feel as simple as placing/moving boxes on an org chart (or power point slide).  But the real meaning of an org design comes out when you place names in those boxes.  That's when one can understand the real disruption from the org change/design.

2) Your org will be fluid and will change over time.  That's certain.  But anytime you design the org, you should design/change it with atleast a 2-3 year horizon.  It takes time for disruption to settle, people to learn their roles, build relationships, and add value.
