Introduction

Criteria: Transition from the Unit 3 Focus Paper by using a 1–2 paragraph summary of your recommendations for integration as the Introduction for this paper. [5 points]

Talent and Leadership

Top Level Reporting Structure

Criteria: Selection of the top-level reporting structure for your selected organization based on the organization’s design criteria. Provide rationale for your choice. Include a high-level organization chart. [10 points]

Note: Be sure you “select and provide rationale” for what you would determine to be the best option for top-level reporting structure. You should be “designing” more than reporting. [see pp. 172-174, Figures 11.1-11.3] Don’t forget the high-level organization chart.

Executive Team

Criteria 1: Application of the four governance levers (beliefs, networks, boundaries, and diagnostics) to analyze potential roles for the executive team. [8 points]

Criteria 2: Based on this analysis, provide a recommendation along the continuum of highly operational to visionary, relationship oriented for your organization. [8 points]

Note: See p. 186-187 for ideas on applying the governance levers and the continuum of roles (Fig 11.6).
