Organizational structure
As you probably already know, in Dew-X we do not directly reflect the organizational structure. In our opinion, this allows for better management of processes, e.g. through easier design of processes for business areas or matrix structures unrelated to the formal structure of the organization.
However, this does not mean that the lack of structure is an advantage in every case.
When, for various reasons, we want to limit the visibility of certain processes for some users, e.g. related to strategy, HR, complaints, investments, marketing, etc., reflecting the structure would be very useful.
In such a situation, the best solution will be to use “organizations” as company departments or task areas.
Apply the following procedure:
- Use your Organization, e.g. MyCompany, for processes available to everyone, e.g. leaves, ideas, messages, incoming correspondence, etc.
- Create separate organizations for each department/topic/area where you want to restrict access, e.g.:
MyCompany Board
MyCompany HR
MyCompany Investments
MyCompany Complaints
MyCompany Marketing - In each of them, build an appropriate set of processes, e.g. “Recruitment”, “Training”, etc. in HR.
- In each of the “organizations”, invite only those users that you want to have access to the given set of processes.
Thus, the same people will be able to access one, several or all internal “organizations”.
