Every configuration has tradeoffs, and there (probably) is no such thing as a single perfect design. A default-matrix organization will be deeply in-sync for major global initiatives, but will have a hard time being customer-focused or inventing the next amazing thing. Autonomous units will be more customer-centered, but will be “messy” in comparison to a matrix. IMO the best data to inform different organization designs is time allocation, mostly because it’s our only non-renewable resource.
