About this company template
Virtual Organization 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 small core coordinates external providers. Provider nodes represent contracts or partnerships, not employment relationships, so replace the connector meaning in your version.
Change the example to match your legal entities, operating model, decision rights and real reporting lines before sharing it.
How this virtual organization structure works
