Early in an organization’s life, a few people do everything. Each person plans, leads, and executes with multiple roles, responsibilities, priorities, and foci. Rapid growth brings new people into the organization, and with them, the need to continuously adapt. To achieve scale, aggressive independent action requires the original team to yield control of specific responsibilities in favor of inter-dependency, teamwork, and collaboration. Leadership evolves into new requirements for delegation, clear communication of responsibilities and objectives, and management. This workshop helps RPM's clients by taking a structured view of how the company's goals and schedule translate into objectives and responsibilities at functional, cross-functional team, and individual levels. This workshop helps the management team explicitly define roles and responsibilities (both primary and supporting), authority, information requirements and expectations, as well as a process through which the client can monitor organizational performance and spot issues before they become problems.
