Organizations (Orgs) and Teams are the two constructs you use within the Blueprint APP to model your Organization.


Intro

A Team consists of a Leader and Team Members while Orgs are comprised of one or more Orgs or Teams.

In the real world and depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you can see a company as a group of functional organizations with teams in them or you can see a company as a good old Org Chart, with lines that denote who reports to whom. Because we understand that both of these representations are valuable depending on the task at hand, we have implemented two independent hierarchical structures within the Blueprint APP that serve different purposes:

1. Orgs and Teams

This first hierarchical structure represents the different Organizations and the Teams that comprise them inside a company. For example, a typical Sales Organization will contain a few other organizations grouping different regions, perhaps Inside Sales, and even an Enablement and Field Operations Organization. There will likely be a Sales Leadership Team and, of course, several different teams inside each of the aforementioned organizations. Let's take a look at how something like this would be modeled within the Blueprint APP:

This would be a great way of representing a Sales Organization most of the time. But if what you're looking for is based on who reports to whom (versus how teams are organized) this representation alone would fall short.
