About this company template
Network Organizational Structure is an illustrative, role-based template for an entire organization. It does not describe a named employer or require one fixed set of roles.
A coordinator connects semi-independent internal and external entities. The tree is a readable overview; network relationships should be annotated rather than treated as ordinary direct reports.
Change the example to match your legal entities, operating model, decision rights and real reporting lines before sharing it.
