Where to go next

The objective would be to eliminate the friction between the organizational layers so as to remove as many of the pebbles as possible. The two changes I would make first and foremost would be aligning the organization reporting structure to the agile values of the division with the elimination of the command and control hierarchy that we currently rely on and second the establishment of an agile portfolio management structure to emphasize the concepts of transparency and eliminate the perceived need for the current task forces with their attempt to “drive” projects to completion by the perennial death marches.
