Ideas on changing a Weak Matrix Organization to a Projectized

The most obvious companies suitable for projectized organizations are professional services companies - architectural, engineering, construction management, software developers (other than in-house). Some government departments or crown corporations may also see an advantage as well.

You may also see hybrid organizations where a company could have parallel structures, functional and project, possibly each reporting to a VP - this would include large companies with continual project activities as well as production mandates. Including petrochemical, oil and gas, power generation, mining, etc.

With a company primarily focused on production with occasional projects, setting up a project organization would most likely not be effective. I would think naming a functional leader as project sponsor with either internal staffer or hired gun as project manager would suite.
