organization chart
Company structure visual
An organization chart is a diagram showing the structure of a company or institution—who reports to whom, how departments relate, where authority flows.
Boxes represent positions or people, connected by lines indicating relationships.
Also called an org chart.
The organization chart showed three vice presidents reporting directly to the CEO.
