Ideas

Simulating the edge organization. Simulated a hierarchy and an edge organization in two scenarios: the edge organization matched the hierarchy's time at lower cost in the first and was faster and cheaper in the second, while carrying more project risk in both. Caveat: A preliminary computer simulation, not field data, whose results depend on how the two forms were modeled; a symposium paper sponsored by the program that advocates the edge organization.
