Your company decided to implement self-managing teams in its local branches. However, this has not been successful. The local managers, who have entrepreneurial mindset, have not been eager to give authority and decision making rights to the employee teams.
Six months after the change had been introduced, some branches have changed practices and managers have given a bit more authority to teams, but some branches have introduced schemes that further increase the amount of internal reporting and applying for permissions. Some employees say that ”it is a paradox that we were supposed to have more autonomy but are facing now more control and bureaucracy”.
Which organisation development model/method/technique would you apply in order to improve the situation and how would you proceed in practice?
Make an OD plan (600 - max 1000 words), defining and justifying your choice of OD method, describing your planned process (incl. roles and responsibilities) & how it follows the method, intended objectives/results and how you would evaluate whether you achieve them. Use graphs to visualize your plan, if possible.
Remember to make use of all theories and literature available in this course, and also clearly reference your sources!
