A hierarchy chart is an organization chart. It shows structure and relationships between people or things in standardized levels. For example, it can show who reports to whom in a company’s employment system. It is useful when describing how the organization functions and who is responsible for what. In Figure 24-5, for example, three organization levels are represented, with lines of reporting drawn between each level. Hierarchy diagrams can also run horizontally, for use in tournament rosters.

A hierarchy diagram, also called an organization chart, explains the structure of an organization.

Should you include your company’s organization chart in your presentation? That’s a question that depends on your main message. If your speech is about the organization, you should.

If not, show the organization structure only if it serves a purpose to advance your speech. Many presenters have found that an organization chart makes an excellent backup slide. You can prepare it and have it ready in case a question arises about the organization. Another useful strategy is to include a printed organization chart as part of the handouts you distribute to the audience, without including the slide in your main presentation.
