Thursday, October 30, 2008 | 12:45PM–1:35PM | Room W224AB
Session Type: Professional Development
Traditional IT organizational designs tend to emphasize hierarchical career progression, budgetary control, and individual accountability. DePaul University adopted a structure that is best described as a flexible flotilla of knowledge-intensive crafts arranged nonhierarchically. This session explains how this structure came to be and how it delivered major benefits to the institution.
