- [Organizing the Structure along the Value Chain](https://www.motionandgain.com/work/organizing-the-structure-along-the-value-chain): Value is horizontal; authority is vertical. In a functional structure, no one below the CEO owns a customer outcome end to end. Every cross-functional decision therefore travels up one silo and down another — the organization's real operating cost is coordination, not work. Accountability requires scope. You cannot hold a leader accountable for an outcome they do not control. Value stream ownership aligns the boundary of accountability with the boundary of the outcome, which is the precondition for genuine performance management. Speed is now the differentiating capability.
