Is there anyone among us that like org charts? Do I see any hands? Bueller?

Maybe they are a necessarily evil. Maybe they are these artifacts that are instantly obsolete; once drawn they clarify how wrong-headed an organization's structure is and are therefore can have some curative powers. Maybe they are good for those among us that like hierarchies and definitive reporting relationships, and who start to shiver at the words "dotted line reporting." Or maybe it is just fun to see whom reports to whom and how other companies are so messed up.
