	in the ZONE Column - Andy Turudic - Matrix Management Creates Columbia Demise And So Much More

	Question Number 348 - The Workplace Doctors - Matrix Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The matrix organization is quite common in many organizations, but it works as a normal reporting system because the subordinate always pays the most attention to the person who has the most power and/or does their performance appraisal, and helps them get a pay raise.
		Matrix reportees are always looking for the "alpha" leader, and will follow their lead, and pay lip service to the other quasi-leaders in the matrix.
		I also suggest you spend at least one or two hours the first several weeks, talking and listening and watching what is happening in the matrix dynamics, and then facilitate (or hire a trained consultant to facilitate) the adjustments needed by the organization, and teams.

	(Product Development Insight) Effective project management for medical devices (MDDI archive, May 04)
		A matrix (or lateral) management style—in which the different functional areas are involved in the project through efficient collaborative channels (maintaining constant intercommunication between the different departments involved in the project)—is a more suitable approach.
		A key part of matrix management is the presence of team members empowered to make precise decisions with the ability to freeze the dialogue at ad hoc points during the project.
		When the traditional top-down management style is applied to a typical medical device development organization (where juggling multiple projects is the norm), conflicts invariably arise over the relative priorities of projects in the competition for resources.
