An organization tree usually contains the following elements:

The name of the organization: This should be only the name of the corporation/organization.

Top level: This is the highest level in the organization, and is usually represented by the organization's executive team or board of directors.

Secondary level: This is the next highest level in the organization, and typically consists of different units or departments that report to the top level.

Tertiary level: This is the lowest level in the organization, and typically consists of different units or groups that report to the secondary level.

Here's an example of an organization tree for a fictional organization:

Name of the organization

  • Sysarb

Top level:

  • Leadership

  • CEO

Secondary level:

  • Marketing department

  • Production department

  • Finance department

  • HR department

Tertiary level:

  • Marketing department

  • Digital marketing

  • Event marketing

  • Advertising

  • Production department

  • Welding

  • Assembly

  • Inspection

  • Finance department

  • Economy

  • Accounting

  • Insurance

  • HR department

  • Recruitment

  • Training

  • Salaries

As you can see, the top level is the highest level in the organization, and consists of the board of directors and CEO. The secondary level consists of different departments that report to the top level, and the tertiary level consists of different units or groups that report to the secondary level. Each level has different responsibilities within the organization.

Note that there is no exact "right" way to create an organization tree, as it depends on the organization's specific structure and needs. However, it is important that the organization tree is clear and easy to understand, so that everyone within the organization can have a good overview of how it is organized.
