Matrix Management at the Right Time - Structural Logic for the Information Technology Industry (cont'd)The value of business planning and developing a coherent business logic is becoming more widely appreciated in the industry. There are significant leaps forward in developing and implementing structural logic that holds together with a palpable center of gravity. Absent the center of gravity, an IT firm degrades into a mere bundle
of projects where relationships among the projects and the personnel are
largely accidental. Without synergy, how can there be growth? Without
synergy, how can their be motivation and morale? The structural logic
of this elementary business form is more akin to a Persian rug market
than it is to an ongoing, thriving enterprise with a crunchy mission and
long-range direction. Most of these yesteryear firms have already joined
the dearly departed. The projects that would have gone to these companies
have left the US; these projects are shipped offshore for advantages of
lower levels of compensation and arguably higher levels of motivation Matrix Management
