Overview: A matrix is something within which something else originates or develops. The relevance of this definition to matrix management is that the matrix matters less than the projects or multidisciplinary processes, which emerge from this approach to organization and management. Matrix management is not a metaphysical experience. Its profundity is to be found in its simplicity. Think horizontal. Think vertical. Think interface. As organizations take more multidisciplinary approaches to accomplishing work and as management and staff juggle multiple assignments at once, there is renewed interest in the power of matrix organization and management. If your organization is ill-positioned for a disciplined, methodical approach to work organization and management, you may want to lobby quietly against matrix management and on behalf of a different — meaning slower, simpler, less powerful — approach in your organization.
