You are managing a project in an organization that is known for its rigid hierarchy and formal communication channels. Midway through the project, you observe that the slow decision-making process is impacting the project timelines. What should you do first to ensure project success without disrupting the organizational culture?
Propose an organizational culture change to encourage a more flat and agile structure.
Identify key decision-makers and leverage existing formal communication channels to expedite approvals.
Increase team autonomy by allowing team members to make decisions without upper management approval to speed up the process.
Implement informal communication channels to bypass the hierarchy for quicker decision making.
The correct answer involves identifying the key decision-makers and understanding the formal communication channels in order to streamline the process without conflicting with the established organizational hierarchy. While increasing team autonomy or implementing informal communication channels might seem efficient, they may cause friction in a rigid hierarchy. Proposing a change in organizational culture is usually beyond the scope of a project manager's role and may be met with resistance.
