New ways of managing hierarchies

by

AI is here, not only for developers, for analysts, for consultants… they are also here for hierarchical organizations.

Organizations with thousands of teams, matrix based dependencies, reporting lines… spaces where things are missed or not well understood by people leading these massive groups of people.

You are an executive and have hundreds of people working under your organization and lack of mechanisms to understand what really happens. Your inputs come from direct reporters, which is the layer of people you trust but understand you are missing a good part of the picture,

What can you do?

Ask for a daily update, 3 ups and 3 downs.

  • Ask this to a peers group,
  • They have to send it every day, copying all peers.
  • Send all these mails to a bucket, use AI to identify trends, ask concrete questions about a topic, identify conflicts in the reports, etc.

With this you keep the people accountable and willing to report a good advance in a single day.
