Organizational Structure

It seems that Tough Mudder encompasses a functional structure, meaning there are specialists and teams of people grouped internally:
  • Events (planning, management)
  • Obstacle construction
  • Site search
  • Marketing
  • Strategy
  • Legal
  • Accounting
  • HR
  • Office Management
People in these teams work together in a rewarding, dynamic, and fun environment. The functional structure provides for a high level of centralization that helps to ensure integration and control over the primary activities in the value chain.  While some companies with a functional structure find differences in values and orientations among functional areas to impede communication and coordination, this doesn't seem to be the case at Tough Mudder; it seems that there are high amounts of interaction across all teams.
