Organizations, big or small, always have some structure to deliver their products or services. Most organizations today are designed as a bureaucracy in which authority and responsibility are arranged in a hierarchy. Within the hierarchy rules, policies, and procedures are uniformly and impersonally applied to exert control over member behaviors. As familiar and rational as the functional hierarchy may be, there are distinct disadvantages to blindly applying the same form of organization to all purposeful groups.

At TPCG, we first create a strategy — a set of decision guidelines by which members will choose appropriate actions. We then optimize the organization by connecting people with each other in meaningful and purposeful ways. Further, we must connect people with the information and technology necessary for them to be successful. By matching the organization to the business strategy, we improve the probability that an organization will be successful.
