Some of us who like to work remote are happy to discover a project "manager"=
in IT who has discovered that modern communications make many things=
possible that weren't possible before.
I tend to think of them as the people who came along after someone suggested=
that finding someone clocking in at the office at 9am and leaving at 5pm=
(or even 6pm ) might not necessarily yield productivity. Maybe at least=
they're trying something modern in management terms.
Meanwhile, for most, the benefits of the internet have not yet included the=
possibility on saving heaps on office rent, saving the planet, reducing=
demand for petrol, giving employees an opportunity to work in places where=
you can actually afford a house instead of a cupboard, etc etc....
</RANT>
And MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH, an "Organisational Chart" to me tends to=
suggest a chart that has somehow managed to initiate organisation as=
opposed to the alternative: a recording of the organisation someone else=
managed to initiate.
