That's a very intresting topic for a growing startup. I tried to find books about org design for startups but couldn't find any. My conclusion was that it's because "it depends" is only reasonable advice. But maybe there are some books that you recommend?
- jannyfer 5y agoI haven't read the full book, but I found "Situational Leadership" a very helpful concept that would have taken me years to learn if I went through trial & error.
- joekinley 5y agoI can strongly recommend The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber. I read it years ago, and it helped me plenty to understand basic organizational setup
- jmpz 5y agoI found Team Topologies to be a good resource on this. https://teamtopologies.com/book https://teamtopologies.com/book
- peterbell_nyc 5y ago+1 for Team Topologies!
- andrewingram 5y agoAlongside the other suggestions, "Org Design for Design Orgs" is a book that got me interested in the topic. Whilst it's focused on how to structure and scale design teams, a lot of it is transferable to other disciplines.
- wmorein 5y agoNot a book but an article based on some experience. This reads a bit more definitive than I actually feel about the subject but I do tend to think that this design is actually best for software/services startups. https://riverin.substack.com/p/the-canonical-startup-org-structure https://riverin.substack.com/p/the-canonical-startup-org-str... There are a couple links to other articles and book on the subject in there too.
