Planning for a Change in Organizational Structure:
Imagine that your company is switching to a matrix structure. Before, you were working in a functional structure. Now, every employee is going to report to a team leader as well as a department manager.
Draw a hypothetical organizational chart for the previous and new structures.
Create a list of things that need to be done before the change occurs.
Create a list of things that need to be done after the change occurs.
In a one page report, answer what are the sources of resistance you foresee for a change such as this? What is your plan of action to overcome this potential resistance?
