When to use a flat org chart

  • With a team

    Good for a small team where everyone reports to the same founders and nobody manages anyone else.

  • A company

    Shows a company with very few layers: the design studio's six specialists all answer to the founders.

  • Comparing

    Put it next to a hierarchical chart to see the difference: one wide row here, many levels there.
