Hub and Spoke

A term to describe a system of organizational design for P3O where there is a centralized office (the hub) connected to a number of smaller decentralized offices (the spokes) each with a sub-set of the centralized office’s business objectives, functions and services. All information and processes (connections) are arranged so that they move along spokes to the hub at the centre. A Hub and Spoke model provides the benefit of scalability for large organizations and supports business ownership by maintaining a level of decentralization.
