Reorganization Aftercare

The announcement is complete. The old approval route still works better.

The observation

A reorganization changes names and reporting lines on a date. Budgets, access and working relationships may move more slowly. Colleagues bridge the difference with personal knowledge, creating an informal transition service that was not assigned a workstream.

The working record
  1. 01New structure
  2. 02Everyday tasks
  3. 03Remaining routes
  4. 04Operational correction

What follows

Aftercare reviews the ordinary tasks affected by the change: placing an order, approving leave, finding an owner and resolving a service issue. Those tasks reveal whether the organization has actually moved. The new chart can remain on the wall while the program deals with the less photogenic evidence.
