• A fishbone diagram is a visualization tool for categorizing the
potential causes of a problem. This tool is used in order to identify a problem’s root causes. Typically used for root cause analysis, a fishbone diagram combines the practice of brainstorming with a type of mind map template. It should be efficient as a test case technique to determine cause and effect. ORGANIZATIONAL CHART • Organizational charts are a good way to visualize reporting relationships and team roles in businesses, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions and governments. • The type of organization chart you need will reflect on the type of organization you have and what information you want to focus on conveying. • Here are four types of organizational charts: 1.Functional Top-Down 2.Divisional Structure 3.Matrix Organizational Chart 4.Flat Organizational Chart Functional Top-Down Hierarchy
• A functional, top-down organizational chart reflects a traditional
business structure. This structure shows the C-Suite at the top, followed by other senior management, middle managers, and so on. The structure is divided into traditional departments like IT, marketing, finance, human resources, and operations based on everyone's functional role in the organization. Divisional Organizational Chart
• A divisional organizational chart reflects a company organized along a
product line or specific geography. For example, in a car company the divisions may represent SUVs, sedans, and electric cars. Each division than has it own functional structure like IT and marketing. Matrix Organizational Chart
• A matrix organizational chart reflects a company where employees are
divided into teams by projects or product lead by a project or product manager, but also report to a functional manager. It shows a company that operates using cross-functional groups instead of vertical silos. Flat Organizational Chart
• A flat organization structure will show few or no levels of
management between executives and all other employees. This type of structure empowers self-management and greater decision making ability for every employee. It's most often employed by smaller businesses, but it's not unheard of it even at larger companies. PERSUASION MAP • The Persuasion Map is an interactive graphic organizer that enables students to map out their arguments for a persuasive essay or debate. Students begin by determining their goal or thesis. They then identify three reasons to support their argument, and three facts or examples to validate each reason.
