Making the Matrix WORK – Cooperation
What is different in a matrix ?
- Teams operate across barriers of distance and need to find ways of working together through technology
- The requirement to work across complex organizational structures brings competition for both priorities and time
- Time zones can introduce delay in decision making and communication
- National, corporate, and functional cultural differences can introduce misunderstandings in communication styles and language
