Description
We’ve probably talked about the classic, old-school, hierarchical org chart hundreds of times on the show. Not because we love it (longtime Brave New Work-ers know it’s not really our jam), but rather because it’s one of the most recognizable organizational structures out there. Despite its everywhere-ness, the boxes-and-line org chart isn’t exactly an adaptive way to design an organization. So what’s an alternative?
In this episode, Rodney and Aaron head to Hollywood (metaphorically) to explore a different structural model: the talent marketplace. A talent marketplace incentivizes the right people to be matched to the right project at the right time—and those projects are ever-changing, intentionally coordinated around strategic initiatives and discrete missions. (Picture how films are made—with different functions coming together for a set period of time to achieve a specific goal—and that’s the model we’re after here.)
Where org charts break, talent marketplaces bend—offering greater flexibility and resilience. In Part 1 of this two-parter, Aaron and Rodney dig into the many benefits of talent marketplaces, the sticky problems they help solve, and what can trip up companies when they first move toward this model.
