Overview

In this assignment, you will evaluate a current organiza�onal structure and recommend structural changes that can help address the concerns the organiza�on iden�fied regarding

collabora�on, communica�on, and autonomy.

Scenario

You work for an organiza�on that has tradi�onally been very formalized, and managers have had a very broad span of control over direct reports from mul�ple departments and

func�ons. This worked well in the past; managers were able to oversee a high number of direct reports because there were many rules and regula�ons dicta�ng how their work should

be performed. However, there were downsides. Employee talent was underused, and there wasn’t a strong team culture, as most work was done independently according to standard

opera�ng processes.

Recently, the organiza�on has been shi�ing to less formalized working structures to support more crea�ve, innova�ve work and provide employees with more autonomy. While

employees are happy with the purpose of these new changes, managers are feeling overwhelmed, and employees are feeling undersupported. This has impacted func�on-specific work

the most, because in the past, managers didn’t need to understand in-depth, func�on-specific tasks (such as the technical aspects of graphic design work or the intricacies of project

management). Instead, they had the ability to rely on rules, regula�ons, and standard opera�ng processes. Employees have also no�ced a lack of communica�on around current

projects, which has led to a lack of updated informa�on and duplicated work across management teams.

You have been asked to work with the human resources department to recommend a new organiza�onal structure that addresses these iden�fied management and communica�on

concerns.

Prompt

Use the Module Six Assignment Template located in the Guidelines for Submission sec�on to create an updated organiza�onal structure chart for the organiza�on. Then, in a separate
