Episode 6: The Evolution of Organizational Structure with Krystal Ho

When companies like iQmetrix experience rapid growth, roles and accountabilities changed (and continue to change) quickly. In the company’s 20-year history, the traditional org chart didn’t serve iQmetrix well and there was a lack of ownership and accountability for the work that was being done. The solution?
