- A task force is a temporary organizational structure formed to accomplish a specific, well-defined, and complex task involving multiple sub-units. Members serve until the goal is achieved, then the task force disbands. - A task force draws on expertise from different departments to guide decision making and ensure all perspectives are considered. It turns the operation into a cooperative effort with more chances of success. - A permanent committee facilitates diverse inputs like a task force but also has the stability of a matrix structure. It oversees critical functions and brings different perspectives into top-level decision making.
