The organization structure indicates how employees embody business areas based on growth goals.
Organizational architecture improves quality, inspires team performance, and creates a viable career path.?
Moreover, they provide a robust long-term strategy.
They include how to do job description conceptions, department duties and responsibilities, and how leaders and their subordinates are connected.
An organizational concept involves creating formal roles, processes, and reporting relationships. It is also known as enterprise architecture, which describes how a company structure embodies organizational structures.
The organizational architecture of a company must be consistent, coherent, compatible, and aligned with its strategy, format, and corporate environment.
It is how an organization uses its core strengths, as stated in its vision statement.
It provides the building blocks on which the business processes are deployed and ensures that the organization's core strengths work within the business processes deployed.
In this way, organizations ever try to show their main qualities to their customers.
The companies' industry, culture, shape, and decision-makers can apply different approaches to enterprise architecture.
An organizational architecture must respond to top management challenges using emerging best practices and techniques. It is the company's defining characteristic.
The most significant human resources are the business processes, the strategy, and the formal organization (organizational structure) because what is an organization without people?
It also implies that the organizational structure and other systems in the organization connect to create a unique synergistic system that will be more than just the sum of its parts.
Organizational Architecture is how the best minds in business, finance, economics, social sciences, and technology develop new ways to set up and structure organizations.
Top managers have always faced challenges, and these emerging techniques and best practices must be a business solution.
The main goal of Organizational Architecture is to improve organizational quality, create powerful long-term strategies, strengthen operations, inspire team performance, retain top talent, increase sales, lower operating costs, and agility through disruptive technologies.
A proven model for understanding organizations and demonstrating how it improves positive change in formal and informal organizational systems is organizational architecture.
It effectively enables you to manage mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and high-performance work systems. It explains how to bring about improved organizational learning, more outstanding risk-taking behavior, and improvements to your total quality management strategy.
Some of the best practices are a strategic selection process for executive staffing teams, a blueprint for executive team effectiveness, and advice on how to help executive teams develop a collaborative strategy.
There is something to consider:?
Do you think collaboration is always beneficial?
Does encouraging predatory competition at work lead to higher turnover and burnout costs for the company?
There is something to consider:
Flexibility is the dexterity and speed of response to changing situations to keep up with market transformations, which revolve around society's purchasing behavior.?
An ambidextrous organization adopts two work models: the continuity of the operation in its original format, adjusting improvements to its routines, and keeping the company running.?
Furthermore, we are developing another format, investing in-depth transformations in data management, technical and business architecture, and seeking functional and technological innovations.?
How do you distinguish cooperation from collaboration??
Cooperation occurs when people share information and resources in pursuit of individual goals.?
In summary, teamwork is essential. It is when the sides strive for each other to fulfill their objective, cooperating with the aim of the other and consequently of the entire ecosystem.?
On the other hand, competition does not depend on human behavior.?
From a very early age, we find ourselves competing for teachers' attention, for a place in the entrance exam, for a business in our first job, etc.?
Competing means trying, competing with someone, and competing.?
Collaborating is the same as cooperating, helping, and contributing. Any company that encourages conflict management and creates an environment of hostile and toxic competition will undoubtedly increase turnover and burnout rates.?
And who will lose is the company itself, as its brand will be tarnished in the market, as well as the costs of hiring and terminating contracts.?
This type of management and organizational climate no longer behaves today.?
Qualified and trained workers will seek other job opportunities in the market.?
When professionals perform in a work environment that is collaborative and relaxed, where teamwork is valued, and where all employees are reliable, the best naturally stand out and occupy the best positions.?

Reality and Technological Trends:
? What is already reality?
Cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, the internet of things, automation, and chatbots are some technological innovations that have already become part of our everyday professional vocabulary.
Several companies are already using Chatbot with artificial intelligence to optimize and accelerate customer service.
Many cars now use cutting-edge technology such as GPS, onboard computers, and sonar to keep the vehicle on the road, especially on snow-covered roads.
Another great example is the use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence to map online shopping behavior and the Internet of Things in physical stores.
Technology advances will be very intense, within which ten trends will stand out in a volatile panorama for business, the global economy, and society.
What will be the trends?
Companies already taking advantage of today's technological advances will get the most out of their investments.
The most challenging challenge will be to keep up with such changes that are increasingly accelerated, which can bring about an exciting scenario.
Where society and the market are going and what are the most relevant business transformations to focus on are some of the things that need to be known.
The technologies that tend to change the most quickly and catch the attention of investors are the ones that have the most potential to change companies.
Understanding how technology will affect organizations and professionals is crucial for everyone in this universe.
? Main technological trends:
1. Process automation and virtualization:
Automation and virtualization of processes with robots and artificial intelligence will be disruptive.
2. The future of connectivity:
5G and IoT-powered faster digital connections have the potential to unleash economic activity.
