Organizational skills start with one's learning process.

Businesses often use an organization chart to illustrate the various positions or departments in hierarchical order. Among these positions are the Human Resource Management and technology resources.
People are an organization's most valuable resources. Employees working together effectively help to achieve an organization's goals.
