Lattice organizations allow employees to customize their careers as they need. Lattice ways to build careers offer multiple paths for learning and growth. Mike Davis, senior vice president of global human resources at General Mills, describes this customization in a CNBC article as mixing and matching “cross-functional assignments, cross-country assignments, people taking time off for personal leaves and then coming back. It’s really quite varied.” Increased collaboration is another hallmark of lattice organization. For example, AT&T created a mass-participation system allowing any employee to contribute ideas and then work on the resulting projects.
