Umbrella Organizational Structure

Summary

This organization utilizes a structure that allows it to act as an incubator, churning out creative and fresh ideas that fall under the umbrella of a parent org. but also reaming unique entities onto themselves. Besides creating clear branding for these offshoot entities or programs, this structure allows organizations to be agile and not be constrained by past precedents. Finally, separate organizations can take on separate leadership and therefore increase their sense internal ownership.
