Question: Critical reflection on structures

Select an organisation with which you are familiar, or which you can find out about. Gather information about aspects of the structure, such as:

· Does the organisation chart look tall or flat?

· What evidence is there of high or low levels of formality?

· Which decisions are centralised and which are decentralised?

· Share your information with colleagues on your course, to increase your awareness of the range of ways in which people have designed structures.
