  Elettra (*) is a research center operating a research infrastrutcure with two light sources: a synchrotron radiation facility (Elettra) and a free electron laser (FERMI@Elettra). With the mission to promote cultural and socio economical growth of Italy and Europe through basic and applied research, technical and scientific training and technology transfer, few years ago it has adopted a balanced matrix organization. This paper describes the tools, techniques and practices we used to manage this change and the results obtained.
