Matrix Management Assessment: Benchmark Your Organisation’s Readiness

A matrix management assessment gives you a clear, evidence‑based view of how well your people, leaders, and ways of working are aligned to succeed in a multi‑dimensional, fast‑moving environment. Is your organisation truly ready to work effectively in a matrix?

As complexity increases across industries, we are offering a free matrix management readiness assessment for organisations with more than 1,000 employees. Built on established benchmark data and insights from matrix organisations worldwide, this assessment reflects feedback from tens of thousands of leaders and employees we’ve trained.

Why a Matrix Management Assessment Matters

Matrix structures can unlock stronger collaboration, faster innovation, and sharper customer focus. But they also introduce real challenges. From our work with global matrix organisations, we consistently see people‑related barriers creating the biggest drag on performance, including:

• Conflicting priorities and unclear decision rights
• Increased ambiguity
• Lack of accountability
• Tension between global, regional, and functional leaders
• Overload from too many stakeholders and meetings
• Difficulty balancing collaboration with speed

A well‑designed matrix management assessment identifies these issues early and provides practical, data‑driven insights into your organisation’s current state.

What the Matrix Management Assessment Covers

The assessment evaluates the critical success factors for effective matrix management, including:

• Clarity around roles, accountability, and decision‑making
• Key leadership behaviours required to make the matrix work
• Collaboration and trust across regions, functions, and business units
• Capability to influence without authority
• Processes that enable—or block—effective execution

With robust comparative data, your results are benchmarked against other organisations operating in complex matrix environments, giving you a clear picture of how you measure up.
