Frameworks for designing organizational structures around speed versus coherence trade-offs. Help the user design effective organizational structures using frameworks from 2 product leaders. When the user asks for help with organizational design: Gustav Soderström: "On one spectrum, you have Amazon - minimize dependencies so you can run in parallel. On the other, you have Apple - centrally organized close to a single individual." Amazon optimizes for speed through autonomous teams with minimal dependencies. Apple optimizes for coherent user experience through central coordination. Neither is universally better - choose based on what matters most for your product. Brian Chesky: "We went to a functional model. We went back to a startup." Airbnb eliminated divisional structures and management layers that separated leaders from the work.
