Has your organization restructured, downsized, upsized, matrixed, aligned functionally, or streamlined strategically, but to no avail? According to Hellen Davis, President and CEO of Indaba, you don’t need to constantly restructure. Instead, you need stability and consistency to propel your organization into the future. To build trust and empower employees, you need a solid foundation, so keep your current structure. In this program, Davis, a corporate strategist, executive consultant, and motivational speaker, describes and explains the advantages of the RA2 Interface, an organizational model for responsibility, accountability, and authority. She discusses why responsibility includes choice, explains how to determine accountability, and describes how authority grows out of the responsibility and accountability components of the RA2 Interface. Davis continues by discussing how the RA2 Interface handles the challenge of successfully integrating business objectives into an organization. She then outlines the importance of cooperation and stability, and describes how the double solid lines diagram creates chaos in an organization. Davis concludes by detailing how managers and employees must work together to prioritize the individual’s workload. New Web links, white papers, and other multimedia resources update one of WatchIT’s most requested programs.
